Social-Emotional Development

Calming Strategy – The Drain

Review this intentional breathing strategy that can help your child release tension in their body.

Hold both arms out in front of your body. Make your hands into fists. While taking a deep breath in, squeeze tight the muscles in your body. As you exhale, release all the tension in your muscles while making a ‘Ssshhh’ sound.

Cognitive Development

Counting Cactus Spines

Divide a piece of corrugated carboard into 10 squares. Write or have your child write the numerals 1-10 in each square (one numeral per box). Encourage your child to poke the correct number of toothpicks to match the numeral into each square.

Language Development

What is a Desert?

Make a list with your child of what they know about the desert (appearance, oasis, mammals, birds, reptiles, plants, weather, etc.) adding in facts that you know, as well. Encourage your child to choose 1 or 2 items from the list to draw and label with the word.

Physical Literacy

Hopscotch

Play hopscotch with your child. If you have forgotten how to play, follow this link to find the rules.  https://www.parents.com/fun/activities/hopscotch/      

Creative Activity

Prickly Cactus

Using cereal box cardboard cut out three sizes of ovals to use as tracers. Invite your child to trace and cut several ovals of different sizes from paper. They can then use these ovals to create a cactus (provide a photo for reference, if needed). Use a marker to draw spines. Flowers can also be added using crumpled bits of tissue paper.
