Answer 6

children are like sponges they want to learn, hand eye coordination, reading yes reading, if you read to a child the same book every day, then start to leave out words let them fill in the blanks.  it will amaze you.  don't think because they are two or three that they are not capable.  When I got my first computer I was in a microsoft word document inserting pictures to print off so that my granddaughter could color them, a few days later she came out of the room with several pictures printed, I asked where she got those from, she says I did it Nannie, I said how did you do that.. She said I watched you.  She was 4.  She watched how I opened a word document, insert pictures and print them off.  I have never stopped her since and she is a whiz she is 11 now.  colors, numbers, use beads to teach them to add, subtract once they know how to add and subtract they can multiply and divide.  they are very very capable, don't under estimate, sing songs repeat rhymes, they will remember

you could teach them alot of thing for examples:putting the shapes in the bucket or tutoring them or something like that

Answer 9

physical development- gross motor activities, running, jumpimg kicking a ball, etc; fine motor, cutting, pasting, coloring, writing their name (i teach preschool and i have a couple 3 yr olds who are beginning to write the letters of their name)

cognitive development- letters and the sounds, shapes, colors, counting, numbers (a calendar is great for that) puzzles are good for problem solving skills, following simple directions, any basic skills to prepare them for kindergarten

social/emotional- waiting their turn, sharing, being a good friend, keeping self and others safe (not hitting etc), using words instead of fists, helping other kids with tasks, table manners

health- hand washing, brushing their teeth, catching their cough and sneezes

Answer 10

Remember they learn through play.  Use every opportunity to

"teach" numbers, colors, recognitiion of print, etc.  Role model how to solve problems by using words not actions.  Books are important---my group of 3 year olds know that the squiggley lines are letters that make up words that tell the title, author and illustrator.  Just use every chance to involve them---they will absorb everything.
