They could use the water to clean their toys or you could give your little one some plastic cups and bottles to make waves, whirlpools and waterfalls. Your kitchen floor may get a wash as well! This is also a nice activity for outdoors if the weather is nice.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Measuring<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>Make a height chart<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.pinimg.com\/originals\/74\/b8\/c0\/74b8c024781feff5319c78031805f6de.jpg\" alt=\"10 COOL and CLEVER DIY Growth Charts to make! (With images) | Diy ...\" width=\"78\" height=\"141\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Make a height chart with your child. This can be done using left over wall paper or a piece of wood, as in the picture. Mark our the measurements in centimetres and meters along one edge of the paper. Once you have marked the measurements let the children decorated their chart, they could make it into a tree, a ladder or what ever they like. You can record the height of all family members on the height chart and over the next few weeks\/months revisit this regularly to see who has grown and by how much. A great way of introducing the language of measurement as we see who is tallest or shortest. How much taller are your wee brother or sister? Or you are how much shorter than me? You could even bring this into nursery when we get back to show us how much you have grown since we last saw you.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Story<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>The Smartest Giant in Town<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"jetpack-video-wrapper\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Fraser Reads &quot;The Smartest Giant In Town&quot; by Julia Donaldson\" width=\"660\" height=\"371\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/cfiPrA8E3qE?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>This is a story from Julia Donaldson that\u00a0 demonstrates the Giant&#8217;s kindness towards others.
