Story Time – Goldilocks Measures Things
Story Time – Goldilocks Measures Things
10:30 am ONLINE on Facebook – ages 2 to 5
This week for story time we had a special guest – Goldilocks! Goldilocks loves to measure things. We learned how to use different units of measurement to see whether things are small, medium, or large.
Early Literacy Tip and Activity:
Tip
Learning through play is relaxed, fun & creative. Through a single enjoyable activity. you child can learn about following directions, taking turns, and showing appreciation to others, all skills that are necessary for healthy development.
Activity
Recite the “Hickory, Dickory, Dare,” rhyme while holding a small, stuffed bear or a beanbag. Throw the bear up in the air and catch it. Then give your child a chance to toss the bear. Very young children might need a parent to guide their hands as they toss the animal. Make sure to clap and congratulate her efforts. This is a great family activity where everyone can clap for and encourage each other.
