Social-Emotional Development

Piggy Sandwiches

Offer your child a rice cake or large round cracker. Mix a small amount of cherry juice or red food colouring with cream cheese to make it pink.  Invite your child to spread the pink cream cheese onto the rice cake. Help your child place a banana slice on the cracker to make a pig snout. Use 2 strawberry slices for ears. Give your child two mini chocolate chips or raisins to use for eyes.

Cognitive Development

Mud Pies

Invite your child to make mud pies for pigs using a tub of water, a tub of dirt and pie tins.  Explore the mud with your child and describe what you feel.  “The mud is squishy in my fingers.” “This feels cold.”

Language Development

Three Little Pigs

Read or tell the story, “The Three Little Pigs” to your child or watch online at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xGFjzp8wl1E. Pause while reading the story and discuss with your child. “What did the wolf say to the pigs when he wanted in their house?” “What did the first two pigs do after the wolf blew down their homes?”

Physical Literacy

Stacking Cups

On the floor or carpet, invite your child to help you build.  Using beverage cups, demonstrate how they can be stacked to build a structure.  Encourage your child to try and problem solve how to build with the cups.  Model squatting down to start the structure and then reaching up to complete a larger structure.  Can you get your structure high up over your child’s height? Are they able to reach up, up and up?

Creative Activity

Playdough Structures

25 Pasta Play Ideas for Toddlers

Gather straws, tube pasta and playdough.  Encourage your child to use the materials provided to create a structure that allows them to thread the pasta onto the straw, using the playdough as a base. Your child may have other ideas on how to use the materials.  Their creativity will foster a brand-new masterpiece.
