My Turn!
This is an activity to do with your child and a friend or sibling to learn about
taking turns.
Have bread slices, cheese slices, and a cookie cutter to cut the bread and cheese
into a fun shape.
Show the children how to use the cookie cutter to cut the bread and cheese.
Discuss what to do since there are not enough cookie cutters for each of them
to have their own. They will need to share the cookie cutter and take turns cutting
the bread and the cheese shapes. Then they can eat together!
We Did It Together
Environmental Tip
Feed the bread scraps to the birds or squirrels outside.
This is an activity to do with your child and another child.
Put some newspaper on a table to protect it.
Invite the children to finger paint together on one piece of art paper. (Have
children wear paint shirts.)
Encourage them to overlap the colors and see what happens.
Let them make two paintings so each can have one of their own.
Write the names of both children on the finished products and let them dry.
Each child can hang a masterpiece on the refrigerator!
Now work together again with paper towels to clean up.
