Circle Time Songs of the Day
Five Little Monkeys
Five little monkeys
Jumping on the bed. 
One fell off 
And bumped his head.
Mama called the doctor
And the doctor said,
"No more monkeys
Jumping on the bed!"

Repeat for numbers 4, 3, 2, and 1. 
Fine Motor Practice
  • Homemade Oobleck: To make oobleck, you need 1 cup of water and 1.5-2 cups of corn starch. Start with the water in a bowl and start adding the corn startch to it. You can use a spoon at first, but pretty quickly you'll be moving on to using your hand to stir it up. When you're getting close to adding 1.5 cups of corn startch, start adding it more slowly and mixing it with your hand. The goal is to get a consistency where the oobleck reaches a state that is a liquid and yet solid. If you would like, you can add some food coloring. Now go ahead and play with it! When working slowly with the oobleck it will behave like a liquid, but working quickly it will be more solid.

  • Paint with Tea Bags: For this activity, all you will need is paper and tea bags. To start, unwrap the paper from the tea bags. Fill shallow containers with water and set the tea bags in it to absorb the water. Place a sheet of white paper on the table. Have your child pick up the tea bags by their strings and start moving them around on the paper. Depending on the type of tea, you will notice the different colors that show up on the paper. 
Science / Cooking
  • Making Bubbles: Here is an easy recipe for creating your own bubbles! For this recipe, you will need sugar, dish soap, and water. Adding a small bit of sugar to your homemade bubbles will make your bubbles last longer. The sugar slows down the water evaporation, which keeps the bubbles from drying out so they stay intact for longer. 
    • Ingredients:
      • 1 tablespoon sugar
      • 2 tablespoons dish soap
      • 1 cup water
    • Directions:
      • Mix all the ingredients and stir gently until the sugar is dissolved. Go outside and blow some big bubbles!
Gross Motor Play
  • Get into a Box: Find a box around your house. I bet we all have some with the online shopping we've been doing from home! Get in the box, get out of the box. Have your child do it over and over again. When your child gets tired, they can turn it into something new with their imagination.
Outdoor Time
  • Follow the Leader: This activity is great for practicing following directions and gross motor skills. Hop, skip, frog leap, walk, or run. See if your child can follow you and your movements. You can also have them lead and you follow them!
