This was an activity to get my Little moving! The object of the game was to kick the ball and knock over the letters of her name in order, but this was no easy feat! So we decided to just try to knock each cup over and identify the letter afterward.

•{good.or.bad}•
This was another activity we did by using our weekly grocery ad. This time I cut out items my Little would recognize, as well as a few new things for her to learn (asparagus and mango.) Once I had everything cut out, I laid them all out where my Little could see them. I explained to her that "good" foods are ones that help us grow big and strong. "Bad" foods are ones that we should only have a little bit of, and usually only for a snack. I then let her pick each picture one at a time, tell me what the item was, and then decide if it belonged on the good or bad side.
She really enjoyed this, but was also determined to put the cookies on the GOOD side since they are yummy 😂
•{food.rainbow}•
This was a fun activity to not only have my Little pick out healthy foods, but also work on her colors. I drew out the six rectangles for each color, and then together we looked through our grocery ad to find a food to go with each color. After I cut the pictures out, my Little glued them on to their corresponding color boxes.
•{i.spy.fruit}•
This was an easy counting activity using stickers. I had my Little count each fruit, and then I wrote the number in the corresponding blank for her to trace (we haven't done much work on writing numbers yet as we are still working on letters.)

•{abc.yoga}•
This was another fun activity to continue our focus on exercise this week. We did some ABC yoga poses! (You can find the images HERE and scroll down to the "free poster.") These were just a few of her favorites...
F = Frog
U = Unicorn
J = Jack-in-the-Box
O = Otter
R = Rag Doll
•{alphabet.run}•
This was a super fun activity to get my Little moving and work on her letters at the same time! I laid out each letter of the alphabet at one end and placed a bucket at the other. I would call out a letter and my Little had to run as fast as she could, find the letter, and then run back to the bucket with it. We repeated this until every letter was in the bucket. We even did a round where I called out the different colors and she had to find those. She LOVED this.
