Making the most of learning when you introduce your Art & Craft Activity
The Animal Early Learning Program is the first in the series. Each week there is a theme for the week. You can watch the early learning video online, read the suggested library book and focus on the number for the week. The art and craft activity can be done at a time when you need an activity to do at home or you can include this as a transitional activity after the weekly early learning video.
The benefit of following an art and craft activity after the early learning video is it keeps communication open and provides a fun transition – provided is is done with your child. This is an opportunity to ask your child to recall what they saw (memory skills), reinforce facts (colour, number, animals, sounds), clap your words (phonological awareness), talk about characteristics of animals what they do /eat/shelter etc…. (general knowledge). Ask great questions what animal has a mane etc….
