Fun ideas to try at home
- Make playdough at home (flour, salt, water, food colouring) and practise rolling, squeezing, pinching, change the shape, making your child's name out of playdough etc
- Practise making marks and pictures (lines, circles, zigzags) using pencils, crayons or paints
- Pour salt/sugar into a baking tray and practise writing using fingers, sticks, magic wands etc
- Have a tea party/picnic with your child's toys and share food between them. Can your child recognise when they have the same amount and which one has more or less? Can your child count how many each toy has?
- Practise recognising numbers to 5 and beyond. Can your child count the correct amount next to the corresponding number of sweets, fruit, crisps etc?
- Take the time to read stories together
- Make up your own stories
- Dress up and get into character
- Play board games
- Sing nursery rhymes together
