Working on Pre-writng skills

 This is a great activity that kids enjoy to help with developing prewriting skills.  You can use any kind of objects you can find in your house, or in the toy box.:-)

Prewriting tracing

Pom Pom Drop activity

 This is a great activity that can be done with things you have at home and your child will love.  In this article it asks that you drop a small pom pom, a cotton ball or a wadded up piece of paper would work just as well.  Or better yet you could have a variety of options to drop of several different sizes and you could talk about large and small with your child.

I hope you enjoy this one.
