The holidays are a wonderful time for families
to support learning in fun and natural ways.
Go for a walk. Collect pinecones. This is a perfect opportunity
to talk about the different kinds of trees: those that stay green all year long
and those that shed their leaves. Ask children to tell about the trees. Have
them explain their observations.
Children may even collect pinecones that are on the ground.
When you get home, children can line-up the pinecones from
largest to smallest. Have them tell about this sequence. This is a good
vocabulary builder!
