Activity #5
Creating Patterns

Children love to create patterns. Today,  we used our magnetic board to create simple patterns.
How do patterns help the kids?
* Increases attention span.
* Pattern recognition is one of the most important skills for kids.
* This particular activity is a great one to improve hand and eye co-ordination.
* Helps build strong foundation for math.
* Can observe and relate to nature, relationships when there is a good foundation on patterns.

 
Variations: 
Patterns can be formed using crayons, building blocks, spoons and forks, pretty much with anything around the house.
Enjoy spending time with your children!

Activity #6
Science Experiments.

There are many simple experiments to do at home using things in our house. We did a simple one on things that float or sink.
