LET’S DRAW FLOWERS!
What are your favorite colors? It’s fun to draw flowers on paper because flowers can be almost any color. Remember that the stem and the leaves are green and the bloom on top can be
any color you like.
Can you draw a beautiful bouquet of flowers to give to someone special?

PLAY: WHAT SOUND IS THAT?
Parent, have your child stand on one side of the room. Place some noise making objects with you on the other side of the room, where the child can’t see. Make one sound at a time and ask your child to describe the sound. Does it sound like a drum? Is it water? Does it sound like metal?
Social Emotional
Here’s a game to remember good manners. Parents, this game will help your child grow in the skill of listening and responding in conversation.
MOTHER, MAY I ?
For this game you need a “mother” on one side of the yard or room and other players in a line across the other end of the room.
One at a time the mother calls out the name of a player and tells them how many steps they can take toward her, and what kind of step, either a baby step, medium step or giant step. “Katy, you may take one giant step.”
If Katy remembers to say these words “MOTHER MAY I? “ then she gets to take one giant step forward. If she forgets to say “mother may I” and takes the giant step, she has to go back to where she was until her next turn.
The winner is the one that reaches the mother first!
