Adults, help your preschooler bring a cookie or serving tray with a thin layer of play sand, flour, salt, sugar, or shaving cream. Also bring a pen, pencil, crayon, or marker, and some blank paper.
Join us Monday mornings in September for preschool learning activities. Each week we will work on skills that help prepare your child for school and learning success! This program is designed for children ages 3-5 years old, and works best if they attend with their parents/caregivers. You are your child’s first teacher.
Today we’re focusing on letter recognition and pre writing activities. Adults, help your preschooler bring a cookie or serving tray with a thin layer of play sand for this activity. Flour, salt, sugar, or shaving cream will also work well. If your child is already or almost ready to write letters, bring a writing utensil such as a pen, pencil, crayon, or marker, and some blank paper.
