Habilidades para practicar este mes

Encourage your child to try new things; use crayons, pencils, scissors, buttons, zippers, forks, spoons, and other small everyday objects. Upon entering kindergarten, many children are able to draw or copy squares, triangles, circles, and other patterns. Many are able to draw a person, dress and undress with help, and use silverware.

Actividades

Help your child cut different shapes out of paper. Cut circles, squares, triangles, and rectangles. Show your child how these simple shapes can be combined to make people, trees, houses, boats, and other objects. Let your child glue his designs onto paper and write his name on his creations with crayons or markers.

Sew buttons onto pieces of fabric and let your child practice buttoning and unbuttoning. You could also give your child zippers, laces, and snaps to practice these dressing skills.

Let your child set the table at the evening meal. Talk about what each piece of silverware is called and what it is used for. Have your child practice holding and using a fork, spoon, and knife. Make a fun game out of it! Can you eat peas with a knife, corn on the cob with a spoon, soup with a fork?
