Home Extension: Stuck inside? Here's a sure way to help your young learner get some wiggles out without the use of technology or a screen! All you need are some colored paper plates or simply colored pieces of paper. Tape them to a wall. Give your child colored bean bags that match the pieces of paper. If you don't have bean bags, you can use soft balls or squishy toys that are soft to toss. Encourage your child to toss the item to its matching color on the wall. Increase the challenge by creating a greater distance between your child and the object on the wall. For a further extension, write numerals on the plates or paper and have your child say the color and number as they aim for that item.
Celebrate the success and encourage growth! Have fun!
