Gross Motor -- Water Play

* Give the children buckets (the sand buckets work great) half full of water and paint brushes. Let them "paint" on the porch, the house, outdoor toys, etc.

* If you do not regularly have water play, consider a "Summer Splash Day" in which the children will be allowed to bring their swim suits and to play in the sprinklers or wading pool.

* Try one or more activities from Preschool Rainbow.


Math -- Matching

* Play the preschool game, Memory.

* Try one or more activities from Montessori Mom.


Science -- Water

* Fill your sensory table (or dish pan) half full of water. Provide measuring cups, measuring spoons, kitchen gadgets, etc. for the children to experiment with. This makes a great outdoor activity on a warm day.

* There are some great water activities at Reach Out Michigan.


Color -- Purple

* Make a collage of black items: scraps of paper, fabric, yarn, etc.

* Here is a cute way for little ones to remember color names and spellings!

Sung to the tune of "jingle bells":
P-U-R-P-L-E
Purple, purple, purple.
Grapes and plums,
Jack Horner�s thumb.
All are shades of purple.

* "X" words to build on: x-rays, X-box, X marks the spot, extra Xs.

* "Y" words to build on: yellow, yo-yo, yak, yarn, yard, yardsticks, yogurt.
