7 Fun Activities to do with Children in Daycare

Here are some easy activities to try with kids in day-care at nurseries in Wimbledon:

1. Play Earth and Moon first

The Earth and Moon game was created when Melanie was 4 years old by Bill Herbert, a father of three and veteran third-grade teacher.

Give your child a flashlight with a wide beam so they can play, and take a flashlight with a tight beam (a laser pointer will also work). Face up on a bed, in complete darkness. It is the responsibility of your youngster to move the Earth (the wide beam) in broad, slow circles around the ceiling. Your task is to maintain the moon's orbit around the Earth (the narrow beam).

2. Make "scrap boxes" for special places

Gather items unique to that location, like shiny rocks or acorns, when on an excursion to a park or other beloved location. Take pictures of fleeting souvenirs, such as vibrant leaves.

Once you get home, work with your kid to paint the box that will hold your collection. For instance, ask her to sketch or print a picture of the location and glue it on the box top. After that, let her decorate and colour it whatever she wants. To represent each of your favourite locations, create a unique box.

When you have to stay indoors, you can cuddle with your child and look through the photos to remember your favourite adventures.

3. Arrange food art

For "art supplies" you and your child can arrange into pictures on a large plate, rummage in the refrigerator, and fruit bowl. For ideas, cut up some carrots, cucumbers, grapes, or other bright fruits and vegetables. You two are capable of building anything, from a clown or train to a stunning work of abstract art. The choices are endless: use cheese slices as windows, round crackers as wheels, or olives as eyes. The real fun then starts: eating your creation!

4. Blowing bubbles

Create your own bubble solution by combining one part dishwashing detergent with ten parts water. To make the bubbles last, you may also add some glycerin or corn syrup. Almost any open-ended object, such as the rings from a six-pack of soda, can be used by your child to create bubbles. Make bubbles that get bigger and bigger!

5. Sing while telling a story.

Kids enjoy hearing you make up stories, and your personal music collection can serve as an inspiration while also fostering your child's love of music. Start off easy with a well-known instrumental melody and narrative, such as those found in Prokofiev's "Peter and the Wolf."

You don't have to retell the tale exactly as you recall it; you can add a few details, such as having your child take the place of the main character or introducing a new character that your youngster will find fascinating, like a dinosaur. Ask your youngster if he wants to add to the story frequently when you pause.
