• Here are some ideas you can do to keep busy: (email me pictures of what you're doing, and I'll share them on our picture page!)

    • Coloring
    • Build with blocks
    • Hide and seek
    • play outside
    • go for walks
    • scavenger hunt indoors/outdoors
    • wash toys in the sink
    • make a fort
    • sort items (silverware, socks, toys, buttons, anything you can think of)
    • Help with chores
    • Count how many steps from point A to point B (indoors/outdoors)
    • Bounce a ball as you count/say the ABCs
    • Make a game of practicing: name/age/mom’s name/dad’s name/ brother & sister’s name/pet names/where I go to school/where I live/my address/my phone # (we do this as a class sitting in a circle and bouncing the ball to whoever’s turn it is)
    • Work on puzzles – if you don’t have any, color a picture and cut it into pieces
    • Play simplified versions of board games
    • Play card games (go fish is a great one for number recognition. If this is too easy, ask for a card that is greater or less than the one you have)
    • Make shadow puppets
    • Count anything and everything
    • Try to rhyme words
    • Make a rice sensory bin – put uncooked rice in a container and hide small toys. Use a slotted spoon to find them
    • Paint (rocks/paper/boxes/sidewalk with colored water)
    • Make playdoh
    • Hide numbers/letters/words around the house and have them find them
    • play with chalk
    • bubbles
    • read together
    • practice writing name
