Self-awareness
Things I Like
Activities and Strategies
for Development
Take a photograph of your child surrounded by her favorite things. Include
items that represent things she likes to do, such as a bathing suit if she
enjoys swimming.
On the back of the photograph write “My Favorite Things” and the date.
Hang the photograph on your child’s bedroom door for her to enjoy.
Share the photograph with relatives and friends and then put it in a photo album
or somewhere safe. You and your child will cherish these three-year-old memories
in future years!
Egg On Your Face
Look in a mirror with your child to notice the unique features of his face. What
color are his eyes? What does his mouth look like? Comment that no one else
in the world looks exactly like him.
Make an omelet by beating together an egg and a small amount of milk and
cooking it until done in a small, lightly greased frying pan.
Remove the omelet from the pan and cut out two circles for eyes, a triangle for
a nose, and a curved mouth.
Have your child choose a food item to put into the omelet to match his “eyes.”
For example, use raisins or chocolate chips for brown eyes, and blueberries or
blueberry jelly for blue. Do the same to fill the nose and mouth. For fun, the egg
circles can become ears and the triangle a hat.
Enjoy eating the omelet!
