Create an obstacle course for your child and encourage them to crawl through the course as a baby might. After crawling through the course, invite them to walk or run through the course then compare the experiences. Which was harder? Why? Which did they like better? Why?
Continued Weekly Activity
Baby Portraits:
Have your child look at a picture from when they were babies. Invite them to look at the pictures and draw or paint a picture of themselves as a baby. As children observe and consider their pictures, engage them in discussion about the details they notice in the pictures. What has changed about the way they look now compared to when they were babies? Why? What did their hair look like? Their eyes? Did they have chubby cheeks? Etc. Children who are ready can add words to their portraits. Please email or text a picture of any completed work to: msserbonescovid19@gmail.com
