HEART
HOP
|
Cut large heart shapes out of red
paper. |
|
Tape the hearts to the floor and put on some lively
music. |
|
Hop from heart to heart with your child. |
|
Try hopping backwards and sideways, too! |
|
HEART PUPPET
|
Help your child draw a face on a paper heart shape.
|
|
Tape the heart to a craft stick to make a Heart Puppet. |
|
Show your child how to make the Heart Puppet "talk"
and "sing." |
|
HUNTING FOR HEARTS
Cut heart shapes out
of sheets from self-stick notepads. (Cut the hearts so
that the sticky part of the paper is at the top of each
heart.) |
Stick the hearts all
around your home. |
Ask your child to join
you in finding the hearts. |
After you've found all
the hearts, let your child stick some around for you to
find. |
VARIATION: If you don't
have self-stick notepads, you can just make regular paper
hearts and hide them around your house. |
|
COUNTING HEARTS
|
Write numerals on five paper heart
shapes -from 1 to five. |
|
Mix up the hearts and place them face down on a table. |
|
Think of an action to do with your child (jumping, hugging,
spinning, etc.). |
|
Let your child turn over one of the hearts. |
|
Together, say the number on the heart and then do the
action you chose that many times, counting as you go. |
|
Repeat, this game four more times, using the four remaining
hearts.
