Good morning! Here are three invitations for preschoolers on another hot day in July.
Science Invitation: Color mixing with water
For this invitation you will need a collection of small clear containers, water, food coloring, and a small spoon or other way to move the water. Invite your child to help partially fill three of the containers with water and add one color of food coloring to each. We suggest setting all the containers on a tray or rimmed baking sheet. Invite your child to explore mixing colors in empty containers.
Social/Emotional Invitation: Connecting: Share a story
Throughout this time, we have been encouraging children to tell their stories. We hope some of them have been recorded in some way. Today we suggest inviting your child to share one of their stories with a friend or relative. This could happen over the phone, through the mail, or by sending a paper airplane to a neighbor. We hope this helps your child connect with others and share their stories with the world.
Dramatic Play Invitation: Caring for baby dolls
Today we would like to suggest offering some new materials for work with baby dolls. This could be pieces of fabric, old baby clothes you found while cleaning a closet, an empty cardboard box, or some small spoons and clean recyclables. Invite your child to explore the materials with a beloved baby doll or stuffed animal. What can they do together?
