                 RAINBOW PUZZLE 
                   
                  You can make a color rainbow puzzle for your child by using 
                  a 9 x 12 white piece of poster board.
                  
                    
                        | 
                       Lay the cardboard sideways and draw a large arc using 
                        the bottom edge of the paper as the bottom of the arc. | 
                     
                    
                        | 
                      With a pencil, mark off 12 inches on the bottom and 
                        draw pencil arcs connecting the first and last inch mark 
                        & so on making 6 (1 inch) arcs. | 
                     
                    
                        | 
                       Cut out the six arcs and color the largest one red, 
                        the next largest orange, then yellow, green, blue and 
                        purple for the last arc. | 
                     
                    
                        | 
                       Throw away the inner arc and the 
                        other left-over papers. | 
                     
                    
                        | 
                      Mix up the arcs and give them to your 
                        child. | 
                     
                    
                        | 
                       Have him find the smallest arc (the 
                        purple one) and then place the other arcs on top, creating 
                        a rainbow of color arcs. | 
                     
                   
                 |

                       Read the story of Goldilocks and the Three Bears. Then 
                        play a fun size game with your children.
                        
                          
                              | 
                            Set out 3 bowls of different sizes. | 
                           
                          
                              | 
                            Have your child decide which bowl would belong 
                              to the Baby Bear, which bowl would belong to the 
                              Mama Bear and which bowl would belong to Papa Bear. | 
                           
                          
                              | 
                             Continue with other set of objects of different

                              3 books. | 
                           
                         
                       | 
                       
                     
                     
                  
                     
                       KITE PICTURE 
                        
                           
                              | 
                            Print out a large, medium and 
                              small kite pattern. | 
                           
                           
                              | 
                             Let your child 
                              color the kites and then help her cut them out. | 
                           
                           
                              | 
                            Next, give her a large piece 
                              of blue paper and some paste. | 
                           
                           
                              | 
                            Have her glue the kites onto 
                              the paper. | 
                           
                           
                              | 
                            Next, 
                              give her 3 yarn kite strings, cut in 3 different 
                              lengths. | 
                           
                           
                              | 
                             Have her measure the strings 
                              next to each other and glue the biggest string to 
                              the biggest kite, the medium string to the medium 
                              kite and the smallest string to the smallest kite. |
