 Due to the cold weather and the pandemic, some families may feel they have few options for entertainment. We at Educational Playcare are big fans of families that want their children to continue learning outside of school, which is why we created the "Learn at Home" page. Families can take advantage of Educational Playcare's "Learn at Home" resource, which features age-appropriate weekly activities for parents to do with their children at home. These activities can be tailored to fit the curriculum theme at Educational Playcare or your child's particular areas of interest.

Infants

Make the tales come to life by reading aloud and adopting different voices for the various characters.

Repeat the process of rolling over onto one's stomach. You should provide them with toys and books that they can easily pick up and manipulate.

Have fun with musical instruments and musical playsets. Get students to pay attention to how each instrument sounds alone.

Do the peek-a-boo game. While doing tummy time, this is also a fantastic exercise.

Do the Itsy-Bitsy-Spider and This Little Piggy.

Fill a sensory bin (a small container would do) with water and add dishes or a tea kettle for babies who are a little older.

Use a laundry basket and some yarn to create a spider web basket. Have your kids use their hands to reach through the web and retrieve little items from the bin.

Use toy automobiles and non-toxic paint to make a piece of art.

In the event that you find yourself in possession of an unusually mild winter day, take advantage of the weather by venturing outside for some much-needed exercise and vitamin D. Help your child get familiar with their environment by pointing out familiar things while you stroll down the sidewalk, such as trees, automobiles, and clouds.

Children in the Toddler Stage

Spend some time with the kids reading books. Help them visualise the story by adopting distinct voices for each character. This is the age that kids may begin to participate in the storytelling by acting out key scenes.

If the weather permits, have the kids go outdoors and play. Whenever possible, construct a snowman in a group.

Take the kids to a tea party. Pretend to make tea using a spoon and a cup.

Make your kids a sensory bin out of a shallow container. Depending on your kid's interests, you may tailor the items you add.

Pretend to be the Muffin Man with your kids by making muffins out of tasteless play dough.

Build castles with your kids out of old cardboard boxes and other recyclables.

Cheerio necklace-making is a great way to improve your fine motor skills (or fruit loops)

Paper and pencils should be made available to the kids so they may hone their artistic abilities. (Children's early reading skills development begins here.)

Preschoolers holiday club eton

Spend time reading to your kids. Bring the tales to life by acting them out for them. Crafting costumes to use in make-believe role-playing during reading time is a great way to keep kids engaged and interested in the material.

Give your kid some paper and pencils and encourage them to write about their own experiences.

Build story-themed sensory bins (any shallow container would do). Let the kids act it out and see what happens. Discuss the tales' protagonists, antagonists, problems, and resolutions.

Construct something with the kids out of used materials.

Have your youngster practise writing letters or numbers in salt on a baking sheet. They may use either their finger or a paintbrush to make a mark.

If the weather permits, get outdoors for some fresh air. When it snows, it's the perfect time to construct a snowman or a snow fortress.

Get the kids involved by making some play dough. In addition to sculptures, they may also use the play dough to form letters (perhaps their own name), numerals, and other shapes.

Make something tasty in the kitchen with your kids. Young children may gain valuable life skills by assisting adults in the kitchen, and they may even try new foods if they are involved in their preparation.

School-Agers

Give the kids some alone time to read as many books as they can.

Create artwork out of discarded objects (ex. robots, castles)

Have the kids construct out of playdough or air-dry clay. They may then paint them after they are dried.

Play with blocks like Legos. Provide the kids with daily challenges of new things to construct.

Spend time with the kids playing cards or a board game.

Participate in a family baking or cooking session. A child's development is enhanced when he or she assists in the preparation of meals, and the child may even experiment with new foods if they are involved in the cooking process.
