| Math: Tracing Numbers | ||
| Objectives | Materials | Method |
| Learn the numbers |
Paper
Marker
Crayon |
On
a piece of paper write a number using dots. Make several copies.
Help
your trace the number with the crayon. Do this as many times as

| Fine Motor Development: Cutting along the Line | ||
| Objectives | Materials | Method |
| Hand-eye coordination | Paper Marker Scissors |
Draw a straight
line from one side of a piece of paper to the other. Show your child how to place their index finger and thumb in the pair of scissors and then begin cutting. Instruct them to cut along the line. If necessary, place your hand over theirs to guide them. Repeat using curved or zig-zag lines when your child has developed this skill. |
| Science: Friction Races | ||
| Objectives | Materials | Method |
| Learning about friction | Card Scissors Three identical cars Foil Felt 3 stacks of books of equal height |
Cut the card into
three identical rectangles (1.5 feet by 4 inches). Place each card on each stack of books. Show your child how a car will race from the top to the bottom. Race all three cars at the same time. Ask them to make an observation regarding the speed of the cars and whether one car is faster than another. Now place foil over one rectangle and felt over another rectangle. Repeat the experiment. Again ask your child to make an observation regarding the speed of the cars and whether one was faster than another. Talk about friction and how it will slow objects down. You can also try this with other rough surfaces such as sandpaper. |
