Activities

• Art Activity: Disney Character Drawing

  Arturo will draw his favorite Disney character using crayons. After drawing, he can tell a story about the character.

• Language Activity: Story Time

  Read a storybook about Disney parks or characters. Arturo can repeat phrases or act out parts of the story.

  Using blocks or toys, Arturo will practice counting and sorting them by color or size, relating them to characters (e.g., "How many Mickeys do you have?").

• Music Activity: Sing Disney Songs

  Sing simple Disney songs together. Arturo can use instruments to keep the beat.

• Physical Education Activity: Animal Movements

  Act out different animals found in Animal Kingdom. For example, jumping like a kangaroo or crawling like a turtle.

• Science Activity: Nature Exploration

  Go outside and look for different plants or animals. Talk about what they see and how they relate to Disney's Animal Kingdom.

• Social Studies Activity: Favorite Parks
