What are your children's interests?
Is playing dress-up one of their favorite past-times? Do planes and trains
fascinate them? Are they interested in history? Do they want to know how things
work and where things come from?
Once you get to know what
your children
enjoy or are curious about, it is important to provide activities that expand
upon their interests. We have compiled a partial list of places and
activities that can be both fun and beneficial to the development of your
children.
Developmental tips and follow up
activities are included throughout our pages that will help make these
activities more memorable for both children and adults.
The idea is that children can learn
and have fun at the same time - and you should have fun too! The time you
spend together can create memories that will last a lifetime.
First-hand
experience is one of the best ways for a child to learn?
Fantasy
play or pretend is one of the best ways a child can develop language skills,
social skills, and self-awareness?
Taking
a child to a park or playground will help develop gross motor skills like
running, jumping and climbing?

children to a museum will teach them new vocabulary and reinforce concepts
such as shape, color, symbols and a sense of design?
