Learning Time with a Baby Theme

My kids loving doing "learning time." We try and do it three times a week for about an hour and do a range of things: worksheets, activities, games, practice reading, math games, science experiments, and more. We had a baby focused learning time and here's what we did:

1. I created another clip art worksheet with baby items and they had to match the baby item with the letter the word starts with.













2. I found clip art of different images that started with "b" and "p" and created a worksheet. They had to color the "b" items blue and the "p" pink.














3. Sort the baby items according to color: blue or pink.

4. We also played the baby grid game from More Than Counting: Math Activities for Preschool and Kindergarten. It was really fun for them and they enjoyed the "game pieces" too: a baby rattle and fake safety pins. It's fun to learn math for kids if its a game and entertaining. We usually try and do a math game from this book and then based on whatever the theme of the game is we base our other activities.













If I had planned ahead better, I would have also requested the book, A Book of Babies, by Il Sung Na from the library. It's a great book on introducing kids to the fact that all animals have babies.
