Early Literacy
This Week's Fine Motor Development Work:
Fine Motor "Writing"
- Glue
- Red crayon or marker
- beans, pasta or other material that can go on the word stop.
Trace the word STOP with the glue, then allow your child to transfer each material to trace the word. This activity strengthens their pincer grasp and hand eye coordination needed for writing.
This Week's Cutting Practice!
Reminder:
- beginners may be only practicing the open/ shut motion of scissors
- intermediate work would be snipping the edges of the paper
- Mastered beginning cutting skills? Cut all the way to the STOP sign!
Playdoh Vocabulary
Simply print them and allow your child to use their writing muscles to create the picture that correlates with the vocabulary word.
If you'd like to use these cards again and again, simply put them in a page protector and then build on them!
Letter Recognition Game / Dig
What you'll need:
- small or large bin
- sensory material of any kind: beans, rice, pasta, sand etc.
- Printable letter cards PDF or magnet letters
If you have magnet letters, you can allow your child to stick them to a cookie sheet as they scoop and find them! So much fun!

Math & Science Exploration

Build & Test Bridges
Positional Word Challenge:
Can you put a Car on the bridge?
Can you put a car under the bridge?
Can you put a car next to the bridge?
Science Sorting Jars
- 3 small jars with lids
- small amount of dirt
- small amount of water
- water, air & land labels
Invite your child to create these jars by filling one with dirt, representing "land" and one with water, representing "water". The other doesn't need to be filled because it is "air"! Label the jars or allow your child to glue or tape the labels on. Finally, use the printable sheet of transportation words/ pictures to allow your child to sort the modes of transportation to their correlating jars.
Don't want to print? Go on a transportation hunt around your house to collect transportation items to sort!
Create a road map!
Where is the hospital? Where do children cross the street? When should I stop?
