Activities

  • Do the hokey pokey! You can use a recording (like the one found on 1-2-3 for Kids by the Chenille Sisters) however, singing it yourself allows you to tailor it to your own child's abilities and lets you set the pace.
  • Create an "All about me" or "My body" mini book at the DLTK All About Me Craft section
