Activities for Young Learners

I develop hands-on activities for young children ages 2 and up. Each activity is designed to meet the needs of the children and modified for age appropriateness.

Activity sessions are at least 30-minutes long. Additional time can be scheduled in 15-minute time blocks. Activities wil be conducted at your school or facility. Please be sure the children have a cover shirt or smock to protect their clothing.

Listed below are some of the activities I can present to the young learners at your school:

I Can See With My Eyes

Children explore how things look while viewing the room through a wide variety of items such as reading glasses, funny gag glasses, and different colored filters. In addition children may look through a kaleidoscope, watch a spinning top, and see themselves in a mirror. Children receive a card with vocabulary words to take home.

I Can Hear With My Ears

Children experience different sounds by shaking a variety of items. Familiar everyday sounds such as barking dogs, car horns may be played on a recorder. Children receive a card with vocabulary words to take home.

I Can Smell With My Nose

Children sample a variety of smells by opening small bottles filled with substances such as baby powder, cinnimon, peanut butter and other familiar itmes. Children receive a card with vocabulary words to take home.

I Can Touch With My Hands

Children experience the sensation of touch with a variety of items that are cold, smooth, squishy, rough, soft and other textures. Children receive a card with vocabulary words to take home.

I Can Taste With My Tongue

Children experience different taste sensations such as sweet, sour, cool, and crunchy. Children receive a card with vocabulary words to take home.

Art

Children learn basic skills in drawing and painting common objects such as trees, cats, dogs, and simple landscapes. Older children may be exposed to abstract skills such as developing perspective, shadowing and dimension.

Science

Children ages 5 and up may make magic potions, disappearing ink, slime balls, ocean in a bottle, models of water molecules, density columns or other chemistry-related activity. For density columns, parents may be asked to bring a clear empty water bottle for their child's use.

Reading

I will read from my newest book for young readers, Summer's Dream for children ages 8-12. Each child will receive a signed copy of my book and I will read the first few chapters with your children. Parents must buy a book for each child that participates.
