Kindergarten Readiness – C=Create

The Challenge for the letter C wasn’t finding a skill area that started with c. It was Choosing one. Categorizing, comparing, contrasting, counting, cutting, coloring, composing, etc. Creating crafts can use all those skills and more. Does your child have a particular interest? Dinosaurs, boats, fish, teddy bears, cows. Sometimes even very young munchkins have a fascination for something. While following directions (that’s for tomorrow) is an important strategy for today supply your child with some basic craft supplies and see what s/he can create: scissors, glue, paper, bits and pieces from the recycling, crayons, etc. Creating also promotes feelings of success and achievement. C U next time. (I Could sure use some help on skills that start with x and z, in particular and the other letters, too.)
