Toddlerhood is the most amazing time...I love being able to teach my little man something new and see him process the information and repeat it and later re-call that same information!
Did you know that within the first 3 years of life, 75% of a your child's brain will develop!!! This is the most critical time of brain growth!
When introducing new concepts try to remember to make it fun!
This activity is a great fun way to introduce shapes!
First I drew a few shapes and colored them in, I would point to a shape and say the name and see if the kids could repeat it. I would ask them, "Can you point to the circle?"
Next I drew a circle on a paper so that they could color in the shape, I would repeat the word circle many times.
Next I took a sheet of paper and cut it in half making a wiggly line. I drew on a few shapes, colored them in and wrote each child's name.
I taped the 2 papers together and made a shapes crown, we continued to point to the different shapes and I would say the name of the shape and we talked about the colors too!
I hope your little ones enjoy walking around with their new shape crowns on their heads as much as my little man did!!!
