Music
"All Things Bright and Beautiful"
Take a break and sing some songs, either using YouTube for assistance (you can use my Videos page for assistance for this) or sing them together as you do party of your families daily routine (chores, etc). Most of these videos would be better viewed for audio, rather than visual, as it will be easy for your child to become preoccupied with the animations.

Activity
Directions
- Parent: prepare by cutting a small slit along the dashed line where the fox's tail should be on the fox template.
- Slide the hole punch into the slit and punch two small holes where the tail should be, in the indicated circles. Use hole reinforcements (if you have them) on the punched holes. Next, punch two holes in the indicated circles on the tail template. Reinforce.
- Instruct your child to color the fox and the tail with the orange crayon. After the fox is colored, have your child use scissors to cut out the fox and the fox's tail from the template.
- Have him/her line up the holes in the fox's tails with the holes that are opposite the fox's bottom. Glue down.
- Put a small (1") section of tape on the end of the yarn and wrap tightly. This will give your child something to use as a "needle" as he/she "sews" through the holes. Have him/her sew the tail back on, coming up through one hole and down through the other.

Poetry
Read "As I Was Going to St. Ives" together.
As I was going to St. Ives,
I met a man with seven wives.
Every wife had seven sacks,
Every sack had seven cats,
Every cat had seven kits;
Kits, cats, sacks and wives,
How many were going to St. Ives?
Try memorizing it throughout the week.
*You will be surprised how quickly your child memorizes at this age, especially rhymes.
