3 Activities for Fun in the Sun
3 Busy-Bags = Busy 3 Year Old
Children often need a calm activity before nap time, or while you finish cleaning up after a meal. Create busy-bags ahead of time, store separately from their normal toy rotation, and allow your child to use their imagination and creativity!
Race Car and Race Track
1. Drawing and painting with chalk can be very exciting for your little one!
* Markers
You can teach your child how to draw numbers, shapes and scenery by letting them trace what you draw.
* One colored page of construction paper
* Stickers
* Markers
What your child learns: The possibilities are endless with chalk.
Contents for Crayons and Post-its include:
Inform your child what you are drawing and its characteristics, such as, a triangle has three sides.
* One quart baggie
* Stack of Post-its
*Crayons
3. Children love to play in the dirt and get dirty! Why not plant a garden?
Sorting Colored Craft Sticks
Have fun planting seeds of the child's choice and they'll love watching their plants grow over the summer.
* One quart baggie
* 10-15 craft sticks
You and your child can color the craft sticks with a marker or buy colored craft sticks, then ask your child to sort them by color. A variation for older children is to number the sticks and sort in numerical order. Your child may also want to build with the craft sticks and that's okay!
Each activity can be drawn out or as simple as you wish.
Busy-bags are great to allow you time to catch up on a task while your child does a fun and calm activity. Encourage your child to use their creativity and imagination while playing with their busy-bags. Let your child choose the contents of the busy-bags such as the color of paper and crayons, or which bag they would like to play with. You may find you have more fun than them with the busy-bags!
That's okay because you are spending quality time together playing, teaching, and learning!
Foam Stickers on Construction Paper: Talk about what the stickers are, have your child arrange them a certain way, or just let them put the stickers all over the paper!
Shoe String Noodle Threading: Your child will learn motor skills, direction following, and concentration.
