Just like the last few weeks, this activity focuses on writing characters and getting your child used to forming the characters they’re learning.
ACTIVITY OF THE WEEK
Instead of writing or using stickers and materials to put on top of characters, we’ll be MAKING them!
Quick Tip: Your child may be tempted to just play with the playdough instead of forming characters. That is ok and totally normal.
HOW TO PLAY
Forming Characters (age 3+, single person)
1. Show your child the character you want them to make (either directly from the book or from flash cards).
2. Show your child how to make the character with the playdough.
3. Have your child make the character with the playdough.
4. Repeat until you are done with all the materials and characters you want to use.
Alternate ideas: If your child doesn’t have the manual dexterity to make the characters, you can have them guess the characters you’re making as you’re making it. Put each stroke down in order and ask them to guess after each stroke.
