Learning Activities For Children

I was surprised by how much my children: 5, 4 and 20 months loved  this very simple game. They had to play it with the neighbors children as well as with daddy when he came home from work.

What you do is put a strip of masking tape or painters tape on the floor for each person playing, don’t forget yourself!

You begin by telling everyone what to do on the tape for example put your elbow on Mr. tape or jump on Mr. tape.

If able to, allow the children to take turns dictating what everyone should do with Mr. Tape.

One Third of all fire work related injuries on children are caused by sparklers. Following some basic safety measures will allow you and your children to enjoy sparklers and avoid burns.

• Children must be carefully supervised by adults.
• Make sure your child is not wearing any jewelry. Sparklers can even cause some gold jewelry melt against skin.
• Have child hold the sparkler at an arms length away from their body.
• Never hand a lighted sparkler to a child. Give them the unlit sparkler then light it has they hold it away from their body.
• Wear closed toed shoes.
• Drop sparklers into a bucket of cold water as soon as you or your child are finished with it. Sparklers are still very hot after it stops burning.

The Funnix Reading program looks like a really great reading program. I haven’t tried it yet but I am using the book “Teach Your Child To Read In 100 Easy Lesson’s” with my 3 year old and 4 year old  which we all love and this program is put together by the author of that book. It combines parent/child or teacher/child lessons with Computer activities.

You can download the beginners program, Funnix 1 as well as Funnix 2 which can be used as a followup from Funnix 1 or the 100 Easy Lesson’s book which goes from sound recognition to 2nd grade reading level. Funnix 2 takes children to a 3rd grade reading level.

This is also an effective program for children with various special needs.

Enjoy your free Funnix Reading Program!
