Pens, glue sticks, scissors and more - here's a great activity that reminds us of some of the fun supplies we'll be using this year! This one gets your kiddo using his counting skills, his coloring skills, his visual discrimination skills... you name it, it's here! The best way for you to follow along with my modifications is if you take a peek at the activity first, for yourself. It's on the ESL Kid Stuff website.
MODIFICATIONS: There is a lot going on, on this worksheet.
Help your child to focus by explaining the directions and how the task can be accomplished, one step at a time. Also, since your little one probably isn't reading just yet, go ahead and highlight the color names with their corresponding colors before you even let you child look at the worksheet. When you're giving your little one strategies to help him complete this task, don't be afraid to point and touch what you are talking about and to be specific. For example, direct his attention to the first picture on the bottom section of the page. Point to the glue stick and say, "Here is a glue stick." Then look at the top section of the page with your kiddo. "Can you touch another glue stick? Good job, that's one. Find another one... two... three... four. Great job! You found 4 glue sticks. Let's write the number in the box. Oh! It's already written for us. Great! 4 glues sticks. What color do you think that you're supposed to color them?" Point to the highlighted word. "Blue, you're right!" Obviously, just an example, but you get the point. Depending on your little one, you might even want to do the same thing one more time, with the eraser, just underneath the picture of the glue stick. Have fun!
