Materials and Prep
- Colorful pictures of familiar objects or places
- Paper and crayons
- Enthusiasm and curiosity!
No special preparation needed, just be ready to have fun exploring together!
Activities
- Draw and Compare: Draw a picture of your favorite toy or a pet. Then draw a picture of the same thing but how it might look different in the future.
- Memory Game: Gather some objects or pictures of things you use every day. Talk about how they are the same or different from when you first got them. Play a memory game with the objects.
- Story Time: Read a simple story about a character who goes on a journey and how things change or stay the same along the way.
Talking Points
- "Things change when they become different. For example, a baby grows into a big kid!"
- "Sometimes things stay the same. Like how your favorite toy will always be your favorite toy, even if it gets a little worn out."
- "Just like how the seasons change from winter to spring, things around us can change too. But some things, like our love for our family, stay the same forever!"
