2. Talk to your child about achieving. Achieving is one of our SHANARRI words. Talk to your child about anything they have been trying really hard to do or something they would like to be able to do and set a target together. It might be putting zipping up their coat, getting dressed by themselves or putting their shoes on. 

 

3. Encourage your child to do some matching around the house. This could include matching together pairs of socks or shoes or sorting out cutlery. If they understand this concept, they could try counting how many they have altogether. 

 

4. Make a model using anything you have lying around the house e.g. recycling such as cardboard boxes, plastic yoghurt tubs, milk jugs or anything else that you can find. 

 

5. Do races in the garden or when out for a walk. This could involve a running race, hopping race or skipping race.
