What are some fun learning activities for kids?
Children that age learn best through play and (hands on) observation. Speak to them about everything-I am washing the dishes, I am putting the dishes in the cabinet, I am cutting the vegetables, I am stirring the stew. Let them help when possible, such as you wash and they dry (a three year old and even younger can do this) or helping you by gathering ingredients from the refrigerator. Explore your yard, walk around your neighborhood, visit various sites in your community-let him/her take the time to explore leaves, rocks, caterpillars, etc. My children just love sitting outside quietly, watching the various animals-put up a bird house, bird bath, and/or bird feeder. Plant flowers that attract butterflies. Of course let your child help with these activities. For writing skills, give him/her a pencil or crayons, and paper. Scribbling IS early writing skills.
