Your child can sort them into groups based on size, colour, shape or what they do.<\/li>\n<li>Sing songs and read books that have numbers in them that repeat, rhyme and have rhythm. This will help your child understand patterns.<\/li>\n<li>Play simple board games, card games and puzzles with shapes and numbers, like &lsquo;snap&rsquo;, or matching pairs or dominoes.<\/li>\n<li>Play outside games like &lsquo;I spy&rsquo;, hopscotch, skittles and &lsquo;What&rsquo;s the time Mr Wolf&rsquo;.<\/li>\n<li>Play or sing music at different speeds. Your child can dance, jump or shake musical instruments to slow or fast songs. Sing nursery rhymes slowly and then speed up.<\/li>\n<li>Race toy cars and talk about which came first, second or third.<\/li>\n<li>Help your child to arrange her favourite toys in order from shortest to tallest.<\/li>\n<li>Involve your child in cooking. Your child can help stir, pour, fill and mix. This helps your child become familiar with concepts like counting, measuring, adding and estimating.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ul>\n<li>Health and Wellbeing *<br \/>\nI&rsquo;m sure you will agree that the weather hasn&rsquo;t been ideal for getting out and about for local walks. So I thought I would show some move and groove alternatives for rainy days at home.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>We have tried most of these in class already and they all last between 5 and 10minutes.<\/p>\n<p>Winter Wonderland Cosmic Yoga<\/p>\n<p>Joe Wicks &ndash; The Froggy Coach<\/p>\n<p>Zumba Kids Dance<\/p>\n<p>Kids Home Workout<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Science *<br \/>\nDoes it sink or float?
