This Play Smart Skill Builders Challenging focuses on drawing basic
lines and solving mazes while guessing the path ahead to support your
child's development of preschool readiness skills.
1. Tackle tasks in a variety of ways. Depending on a child's age,
some problems may be a little too difficult. It's important to encourage
your child to approach tasks in different ways, and this can be done by
referring to the tips in the "To Parents" section. When a task is
complete, your child's sense of accomplishment will help develop their
critical thinking skills and creativity.
2. Develop independence while working on tasks. Activities include
tasks related to getting dressed, cleaning up, and helping around the
house. When an activity is finished, encourage your child to practice
it. This prompts children to be more aware of their surroundings.
3. Learn the names of animals, food, vehicles, and other things.
While outside of your home, ask your child to review the things they
have learned in the workbook. This will not only expand their
vocabulary, but also stimulate their interest in the things around them.
4. Think about the environment. Pages featuring characters living
in the Arctic, jungle, and desert as well as in trees, in the sea, and
on land are designed to help children learn that various living things
reside together on Earth. This helps raise awareness of environmental
issues.
