5-Minute Activity: Lacing Cards Dot-to-Dot

If you have lacing cards, this is a great activity to reuse them for another purpose!

Supplies:

• Lacing Cards
• Pencil
• Markers or crayons
• Paper

1)  Place the lacing card on a piece of paper.  Hold firmly (you might need to help with this) and draw dots in the holes.

2)  Complete the dot-to-dot!  (Your child may want to draw over the dots with a marker.  I just didn't want the marker on the lacing cards, so we used a pencil first.)

5-Minute Activity: Goldfish Color Sort

I turned our afternoon snack into a simple learning activity!

Supplies:
Rainbow Goldfish
Plates
Bowls

1)  Give a handful of Goldfish to each child and allow them to sort the colors into small bowls.  Count up the Goldfish in each color.  Then, have the children figure out how to divide them so each child gets the same amount (I ate the "remainders")!

You can extend this activity by creating a graph or making patterns.  There are several printable activities over at PreKinders, too!

5-Minute Activity: Body Part Review

We often say things like "Point to your nose" or "Where's your hair", but this activity changes things up a little bit!

Supplies:  

2 people

1)  Ask your child to touch his nose, ears, elbows, knees, back, etc. to yours (or a sibling)!

(She must've dressed herself!)

2)  Be prepared for lots of giggles!! :)

I ran across these photos while doing some computer clean-up and realized I never posted this little activity!!  Looking at the pictures makes me realize how much these little ones have grown in the past year!
