Read "The Cat in the Hat' by Dr.
Seuss to your child. Your local
library should have a copy, but this
is a great book to add to any kid's
library, so consider purchasing it if
your budget allows.
Go on a scavenger hunt for
various types of hats - throughout
the house, in books, on wall art.
Discuss the type of hat and/or
where you might where each hat.
Read "Green Eggs and Ham" by
Dr. Seuss to your child.
Recruit your child's help to make
green eggs and ham (with food
coloring). Practice coloring other
items like vanilla pudding, yogurt,
and biscuits, and have a feast
sampling each.
Hide 10 or 20 plastic green eggs
throughout the house and let your
child hunt for them.
Explore shoes: Provide a box of
shoes for your child to explore. He
can practice making pairs,
grouping colors, or even walking in
the shoes!
Go Fish
Make a Fishing Rod out of a stick,
string and magnet. Clip paper
clips onto paper fish, and place
the fish in a large bucket. Help
your child "cast" his line into the
bucket and say "One fish, two fish,
red fish, blue fish" and pull out his
catch.
Introduce your child to the
concept of rhyming words. Have
fun rattling off words that rhyme
with "cat", "rug", "see" and other
simple words. This is a great
everyday activity for the car or bath
time, and before long, your toddler
will catch on.
Enjoy samples at your local
grocery store (HEB has great
midday samples) or purchase
some food items you don't typically
buy and let your child sample
each, describing the color, smell,
and taste, and then giving you her
opinion of each.

On my head,
On my head.

Yours does too.
