Use a bulletin board and write down words on strips of paper. The words should be those that your child comes across in everyday life during play time, mealtimes or in school. Put a picture next to the word to indicate what it means. For example, truck, car, bus, toy, daddy, mummy, rain, sun, etc. This activity is one of the simple math activities for year-olds. Draw or stick pictures of objects like apples, cars or butterflies on cards to help your child count in twos, threes, etc.
For example, to do skip counting by twos, stick two apples on the first card, four apples on the second, six apples on the third, and so on.
You need an ice-cube tray, a couple of game dice, whiteboard markers, and kitchen tissue. Put one of the dice into one ice-cube hole and the other into the adjacent hole. Use the marker to make plus, minus, and equal-to signs between the holes where the dice are placed. Help your child add or subtract the number indicated on the dice to arrive at the answer.
Use craft paper or pasta shapes to make the shapes of the egg, caterpillar, cocoon and butterfly. The words are already printed on the board. All your five years old has to do is match the tiled letters on to the letters on the board. You can use coloured origami paper , craft paper or plain old white sheets coloured with crayons for this. Teach your child how to fold paper to make interesting shapes like aeroplanes, rockets, boats, birds, etc.
Fill up a craft box with supplies like pipe cleaners, craft eyes, colourful yarn, safety-scissors, coloured mini-puff balls, ice-cream sticks, felt squares, and tape. Let your child get creative with these. For example, your child can draw a garden scene or playground scene on paper and make it come alive by sticking green felt for grass, puff-balls for flowers and trees, etc. Put plain white glue in several empty, squeezable plastic containers and add various watercolours to make bottles of different coloured glue.
Now let your child squeeze out various coloured patterns onto white chart paper and let it dry. This will make a colourful display piece once the glue has dried. Draw the shape of a flower or an animal like a dinosaur, duck or dog on a sheet of paper. Spread glue inside the shape and ask your child to fill it with seeds and grains to make the picture beautiful. You can use bird seeds, toor dal, masoor dal, moong dal, chana dal etc.
Kids develop better hand-eye coordination when they pick up little seeds and glue them onto paper. Use markers, ice-cream sticks and coloured paper to make a picture of a plant on chart paper. Once this is done, label all the parts such as flower, petal, stem, leaf, root, etc. This activity makes kids use their hands, wrists, and fingers, thus helping them develop their fine motor skills.
