"You Are My Sunshine"
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.

Practice swirling, tapping, and cleaning with every color. |
