💡Fun with Math!💡
🎯Roll a dice and practice copying the way the dots are laid out. This helps with quick number recognition!
🎯Practice writing the # in numeral form and by tallying!
🎯Count out the number on a number line!
🎯For more of a challenge roll 2 die and practice your addition and subtraction skills! 📝

If you have a page protector at home you can make this a template and use a dry erase marker!

💡Number Match 💡
🎯 Write out numbers in random order on a big sheet of paper
🎯 On post-it notes you can either write out the matching numeral or to make it a little more challenging you can write out the matching quantity
🎯When matching quantities, you can count the dots together before matching to the numeral 💯

💡Reading Activity 💡 📖Reading is a priorit

💡Reading Activity 💡
📖Reading is a priority for all young children and there are lots of ways to incorporate various activities into story time to build literacy skills regardless of your child's age or ability! 🎯For early readers, sitting for a story might be your focus. Start with a page or two and try having your child turn the pages. 🎯 In a story like The Very Hungry Caterpillar by @officialericcarle you can try having your child point to various 🍎🍊🍐🍇, colours, say their favorite fruit, etc!
🎯 For a bit more of a challenge you can try having your child draw a picture of a character or something that happened in the story, make predictions about what they think will happen next, or how characters are feeling.
🎯Re-telling stories is a great way to build reading comprehension. Start with putting 3 sentences in order (either numbering the sentences or writing them out in order!). You can also try identifying the title, author, characters, setting, etc! 📚

💡Word Splat! 💡
Here's a fun activity that works on reading/sight word identification, writing, and turn taking! 🎯Write out short sight words on small pieces of paper or cue cards (extra challenge! Your child can try writing the words!)
🎯Spread all the words out on the floor and take turns calling out a word and see how fast you can 'splat' the word! 🎯We added shapes into the mix to give my other son a chance to play, too 😀. You could also add in numbers, shapes or pictures!

If you have some stuffies around to be 🙌cheerleaders 🙌 we found it was even more fun 🎉

💡making Jewelry💡
Beading a bracelet or necklace is a great way to make patterns and to strengthen fine motor skills! 📿
And with Mother's Day coming up it's a great homeade gift! ♥️
🎯 You'll need some beads and string
🎯 Try starting a pattern for your child and having them finish it
🎯 If your child is just starting to learn how to string beads you can do the initial step for/with them and once the string is through the bead, your child can pull it all the way through. 📿

💡Hand Prints💡
This is a super easy and fun craft with a few ways to add in some extra challenges! 🙌
🎯 Get some paint, brushes, and paper
🎯 Paint your hand in whatever way you wish! We had fun incorporating some patterns...my fingers were blue, purple, blue, purple, etc. 🎯 Press your hand on the paper and see how it turns out! 🎯 ✨Extra Challenge ✨Write the different parts of the hand at the top of the page and ask your child to match. 🎯✨Extra Challenge ✨ If the whole family takes part you can line up all the hands in order of size 🙌

💡Marble Art💡
🎯Grab some shaving cream, food colouring, a tray, a spoon, paper, and a ruler (also your patience cause this can be messy 🙈)
🎯 Put shaving cream all over the tray and then spread with a spoon
🎯Put some drops of food colouring all over the shaving cream
🎯 Drag the spoon or a toothpick through the shaving cream to make beautiful patterns!
🎯Gently press a piece of paper on top of the shaving cream and then peel off
🎯Using the ruler gently scrape the shaving cream off the paper and Voila! ✨✨✨ Also at the end just sticking your hands in the shaving cream feels cool!

Visuals don't have to be fancy! They often help keep teachers and parents on track just as much as kids! 📝
If possible you can have your child make the schedule with you so they feel that they have some control over their day, too!
Intersperse some fun things with other activities that might be more challenging! 💯

Ok here's a little something for #tiptuesday that isn't the regular activity idea BUT it can really help with getting your kids to be more independent with their play! 👏👏 ROTATE toys and activities!!
Put a few toys out within reach, keeping the rest out of sight. 🙈

Doing this every couple of days can really help with keeping your kids interested in their stuff and encourages independent play 💥

💡Secret Messages💡
🎯A fun and easy activity for some #mondaymotivation to practice lots of different skills like reading, vocabulary building, fine motor and more! 👏👏
🎯Grab some paper, a white crayon, and some paints. I found watercolour works best but if you only have Tempera you can just thin it out with a bit of water
🎯Write out some easy words or draw some shapes or other simple pictures with the crayon and then have your child paint over the crayon to reveal the secret! 🎯 Then your child can read the word to you or tell you what they see to practice their expressive skills!
🎯 Switch it around and have your child make a secret message for you!

💡Letter Match💡
Here's an easy activity to get outside and then practice alphabet matching and spelling! 🎯Go for a walk to find some small stones - the flatter the better! 🎯Practice writing lower case letters on the stones or have your child say the alphabet as you write the letters
🎯Write upper case letters on some paper and have your child match! You could also make this identical matching by writing the same upper or lower case letters on the paper
🎯Extra challenge! Spell out some easy words with the stones 👍. #autismawareness #aba #discoverycentre #earlylearning #reading #specialneeds #spelling #bcba
