Using Their imagination to Learn
A preschool child needs to be stimulated mentally and physically of course. A great way to do both at once is having activity tables. These tables can have assorted activities on them fr children to explore and grow. Arts and crafts are a great way to build motor skills and be creative. Standard arts and craft supplies for toddlers can include construction paper, crayons, markers, pencils, non-toxic glue sticks,pipe cleaners, glitter, feathers, chalk and anything you can think of. Having a scheduled activity can be loads of fun too. Simply having your toddler trace their hand or foot and decorate it makes them feel special and important. Making a simple bookmark will promote the idea of reading and fun. Painting with sponges, painting with fingers and even painting rocks or blocks is a way for children o reach into their minds and be an artist. Making holiday crafts are also a perfect way to celebrate and make gifts for the child's family. Activity tables come in all sizes and colors. Lots of them have storage to keep a clean work area.
