Winter Kits Sent Home with Activity Ideas

It’s hard to believe that colder weather, winter break and the holidays are fast approaching. With the COVID-19 crisis, it can be challenging to find fun activities to do with your child during the winter months. Don’t worry, LCCAA Head Start has you covered!

Each center-based and virtual Head Start child will be receiving a Winter Wonderland Kit filled with fun hands-on learning activities you can do with your child over winter break. Early Head Start children will receive a kit, but items may vary from below, to ensure it’s developmentally appropriate for that age range.

Preschoolers Winter Wonderland Kits will include:

Little Snowflake Book- Enhance language and literacy skills by reading, asking questions about the book, etc.

Create your own snow globe- Strengthen fine motor skills and foster creativity.

Snowflake stencils- Strengthen fine motor skills and focus.

Insta-snow and storage bin- Practice science by watching a chemical reaction and math by measuring.

Arctic animals- Nurture creativity and imagination through pretend play.

We are your partners in creating positive experiences for your child. The best thing we can all give is time and attention, and within that time will always be learning opportunities.

A good resource for activities that promote learning and skill enhancement is Ready Rosie. Pull up some videos during break and keep that learning going until school resumes in January.
