These lessons can be taught<br />through reading bedtime stories, doing arts and crafts<br />together, letting your child help you with baking, gardening,<br />house cleaning, feeding pets and playing games. Daily chores<br />can become games when you find simple things your child can do<br />themselves to contribute.<br /><br />There are also lots of fun educational games on the market<br />like Candy Land, High-Ho-Cheerios, Twister and UNO that focus<br />on colors, counting and following simple instructions. Board<br />games teach kids to learn to play with someone else, and also<br />take turns.<br /><br />Construction games like building blocks, Lincoln Logs, Tinker<br />toys and anything by Quercetti <a style="TEXT-DECORATION: none" href="http://www.Quercetti.com">www.Quercetti.com</a> encourage </span><br /><span style="font-family:Arial;">kids to use their creativity through thinking and reasoning.<br /><br />You might even have one special evening a week that you call<br />game night where you play several games together, or if you<br />have the time, you may want to play one game each night before<br />bedtime.<br /></span><br /><span style="font-family:Arial;">-Angela<br /></span><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:85%;"></span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/10814899-112970627139141136?l=educationalwellness.blogspot.com'/></div>Angela Brownhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07265045456732872893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10814899.post-1125417858205131912005-08-30T11:59:00.000-04:002005-08-30T12:04:18.210-04:00Children look to their parents for ideas about school – what to expect and how to view the learning process.
