Fine Motor Practice
- Threading: For this activity, you will need plastic straws, scissors, and string/yarn/laces. If you are using bendable straws, cut off the tops of the straws so that they are straight. Cut the straight bits of straw into smaller pieces (Your child can even do this part!) Once everything is cut into smaller pieces, it's time to thread! Have your child practice putting the string through the straw pieces. *If you do not have plastic straws, you can also use beads or uncooked pasta such as penne or ziti.

Science / Cooking
- Tornado in a Glass: This is a science experiment that you can put together with a few household items. For this experiment, you will need a clear, empty container such as an empty jar or plastic bottle. Add water to the container leaving a gap at the top. Add a drop of dish soap. Place the cap on and shake it from side to side or in a fast, circular motion upside down. Watch as it magically appears right before your child's eyes!

Balancing Act:
Balancing is a major gross motor skill for preschoolers to learn. This is a simple homemade balancing activity. Take a piece of painters tape and tape a line to the floor. Have your child practicing walking across the line with one foot in front of the other. You can also have your child practice walking backwards on the line.

You can also do this activity outside with a piece of tape, chalk, or 2x4 plank.

Outdoor Time

Go for a Listening Walk:
Go for a walk in your neighborhood or in your backyard. Stay silent for a few minutes, depending on your child's age and attention span, and listen to all of the sounds around you. After the time is up, talk about what you heard and where the sounds may come from. This is a great activity to help put your child in a calm, but alert state, which is perfect for sensory integration.
