For each radio show on Learn and Play with Mrs A, I take notes because I’m learning so much about kids and kindergarten readiness from fascinating guests who are experts in a variety of areas. Each of them is passionate about kids and loves the work, or maybe that’s play? Here’s a play-of-the-day suggested from our play-of-the-week conversations and a little information about these awesome guests.
Cooking with kids is a great way to encourage both kindergarten readiness and nutritious eating. Guest Kimberly Plumley had some terrific ideas for appealing snacks and meals for kids as well as some kitchen fun. To encourage kids to try a variety of foods she suggested the resource: Today I ate a rainbow, a website that says “kids need to eat 5 colors of the rainbow everyday.”
For some play-of-the-day fun, see how many colors of the rainbow you and your child can eat today. Kids may want to make a rainbow of the colors they have eaten (or at least tried).
