Your Child Will Learn: Tactile Stimulation
Â
Fill a wagon, tray or serving bowls with fresh snow. Lay down a mat, shower curtain, or blanket on the kitchen floor. Put the snow down on your protective surface. Using cups, spoons, toy shovels let your children play in the snow. Add some pizzazz by letting them drop some food coloring in the snow.
Â
It may mean mopping the floor later, but your children will love this activity! And don’t forget the mittens.
