Sticker Matching Game | Age: 2+ In this week’s craft video, we show how you make your very own matching game right at home. This activity is simple to make and can be played again and again. YOU WILL NEED: - Construction paper (any colour you like)... - Stickers (make sure you have doubles of all the stickers you would like to use) - Scissors DIRECTIONS: 1. Cut your construction paper into two strips and then cut those strips into squares. We recommend cutting out 8-10 squares for this activity. 2. Place a sticker on each square. Alternatively, you can also draw your own pictures on the squares if you don’t want to use stickers. 3. Turn all your matching squares over and mix them up. 4. Show your child how to play the game. Turn over one square and then another. If the stickers don’t match, place them both face down again. Encourage your child to find a match, keep going until all of your squares are gone! #MatchingGame #StickerCraft #Matching #CreativeCrafts #BrightPathKids . . . . . #childcare #instakids #kids #kidsplay #learningthroughplay #playmatters #sensoryplay #earlylearning #kidsactivities #toddler #toddlerlife #letthembelittle #parenting #childcareunplugged #mommyblogger #momlife #instamama #motherhood

It can be tricky to get toddlers interested in their meals, but a great way to get them invested in what they are eating is by getting them involved in the preparation of their meals and snacks. Here is a great healthy recipe for Little Energy Bites that you can make with your toddler and it also doubles as a great sensory activity! Visit our website for more details: https://hubs.ly/H0nSJx20 Ingredients: 2 cups rolled oats cup raisins... 1/3 cup cranberries 1 tsp. orange marmalade or orange peel cup applesauce Take a large bowl and have your toddler put all of the ingredients in, one by one. Let your toddler mix all of the ingredients together by getting their hands in the bowl and squishing everything until combined. If you find your mixture is dry, we recommend adding more applesauce. Help your toddler roll the mixture into small balls and place onto a greased baking sheet. Bake for 10 minutes at 350 F, or until balls are golden brown. Remove from oven and let cool, then enjoy!

Getting children up and moving not only provides benefits for their health, but boosts their cognitive skills, academic performance and mental wellbeing. Here are some physical literacy activities that you can do at home with your child, based on their age, visit our website for more details: https://hubs.ly/H0nSBpL0 Infant Scarf Dancing: Give your infant a scarf or streamer to hold in each hand. Put on some music and dance with your infant. Talk to them about the actions yo...u are doing together as you dance and explain your movements We’re bouncing, shaking and twirling. The music is slow, now it’s fast, etc. Toddler Goldilocks Says: Following our theme this week of ‘The Three Bears’, play a game of Goldilocks Says with your toddler. Using the same rules as Simon Says, remind your child that they cannot perform an action unless you first say ‘Goldilocks says. Use commands such as jump, hop, stand on one foot, etc. Preschool Outdoor Activities: Take your preschooler outside with their bike, tricycle or scooter. Ask them: What do you think would happen if wheels were square? Do an experiment with them by rolling a ball and a block down a ramp. Discuss what happens. Pre-Kindergarten Obstacle Course: Using pillows, blocks, boxes, etc. create an obstacle course with your child. You can create different stations for various actions such as balance, jumping, crawling and tossing or rolling a ball at a target. You can change up the obstacles by encouraging your child to navigate the course backwards, or by pretending to be an animal (for example: hopping like a bunny, crawling like a turtle). School Age Crunch Challenge: For this challenge, you can create a baseline by counting how many crunches you and your child can do in 60 seconds. Each day, attempt to increase the number you can do in 60 seconds. You can get the whole family involved by making it into a competition. #PhysicalLiteracy #StayActive #HealthyKids #ActiveKids #ActiveAtHome #BrightPathKids . . . . . #childcare #instakids #kids #kidsplay #learningthroughplay #playmatters #sensoryplay #earlylearning #kidsactivities #toddler #toddlerlife #letthembelittle #parenting #childcareunplugged #mommyblogger #momlife #instamama #motherhood #corona #coronavirus
