Playtime

Sometimes it’s all about the simplest things. Whenever we’re struggling, it’s great to go back to basics. So in an effort to keep it super simple, here are some easy ideas that kids love. Most of all, they will appreciate spending a little time together 💙

As you walk, ask your child to pick a landmark, like the next corner or an upcoming sign, and count how many steps it takes to get there. Encourage your child to take big steps and little steps or to run and then walk. Talk with them about how these changes affected the number of steps.

As your child moves, they’re learning about math concepts like distance and counting by experiencing them with their body. You’re encouraging them to be curious and ask questions about the world. This kind of thinking leads to creativity and the ability to make interesting connections.
