August 2011 Parent Resource Information
TEACH YOUR CHILD THEIR NAME & ADDRESS
One of the best things you can teach a young child to say is their name, address, and phone number. When learning the address and phone number, it may be easier if you "sing" or say them in a fun way. Help your child practice saying these in the car, at bedtime, or during meals. Tell your child of he/she gets lost or needs help, he/she can tell his name and address to a police officer, fire fighter, store clerk, or another parent with children.
CRAFT IDEAS
Here are a few nature art activities you can try to make with your child from familyfun.go.com.
**Go on a nature hike with your child and find a rock to make a pet rock.
For the activity you will need rocks & pebbles, glue (hot glue lasts longest, but white glue and glue stickswork well), googly eyes and pom-poms, fun fur, scissors, and acrylic paints & paintbrushes.
Instructions
1) Set out the rocks and decorating supplies on a big table.
2) Look for natural features in the rocks that resemble noses, chins, ears, and so on.
3) Stick pebbles, googly eyes, and pom-poms in place with glue. Kids can also use fun fur for hair, mustaches, and beards or apply additional features with acrylic paint.
**Mud Cupcakes
For this activity you will need cupcake liners, cupcake pan, mud, nature objects such as berries, flowers, and pebbles.
Instructions
