I am joining in this week in the adventures of a weekly blog post that is hosted by My Life as a Sippy Cup Mom, Family and Life in Las Vegas, and Crazy about my Baybah.
Toddler Talk Thursday was created by these wonderful ladies as a place for moms and dads of toddlers to come together over a weekly topic and share ideas, go-to toys, or products. It is a great way to meet other bloggers of toddlers. Each week the topic is different and they invite you to link up and share your weekly toddler talk.
This Week's Topic: How do you teach your child the Alphabet or Numbers?
Chloe and Caelyn are extremely hands on girls. When it comes to the ABC's the girls learned them the "traditional" way of singing the Alphabet song, but also the letters would be pointed out to them and learning experiences were created.
For numbers, we counted everything with a one to one correlation. We would start at home counting animals, socks, dolls, anything we could. And when we are out (thanks to an aunt) we even counted sugar packets. Since Chloe is 5 and will be in Kindergarten next year, we have even taken the one to one correlation further into helping her add and subtract. We really try to use everyday things to help the girl relate to and turn them into learning experiences.
Topic suggestion - Chores, what do you have your kids do or what age do you feel chores can start?
