Play and Grow Smart-er Tips
Since 2010 Nancy Pyne-Hapke, author of “Play and Grow Smart, A Guide Supporting Brain Development, Birth through Five,” has been giving weekly tips from scholarly sources to personal interviews, from the internet to periodicals to books to aid your child’s optimum skill development through proactive neuroscience-based activities.
SKILL DEVELOPMENT points and Learning Tools, 30- to 36-month-olds:
* PUZZLES reign!
– Puzzles with large pieces allow exercise in pre-
math and pre-reading skills involving
.. spacial relationships.
.. like colors.
.. matching shapes.
.. eye-hand coordination.
.. recognizable pictures/images.
– While Toddler is practicing putting puzzle pieces
together, ask her to describe what she’s doing;
it’s a joining of pre-math with pre-reading skills.
(visual, tactile, auditory, fine motor, social/emotional,
creativity, language/vocabulary, life skills,
math/logic)
* BOOKS reign, too!
– Books support the increase of Toddler’s
vocabulary every day.
– Choose books with easy, short narratives – real
story-telling.
– This is a time for listening to stories to be a joyful
experience; save “teaching to read” for later.
– Remember to model your enjoyment of reading as
you are Toddler’s best and most important role
model.
– Book list suggestions:
to-3-year-olds_6649.bc
– Books and activities from RIF:
(visual, auditory, tactile, fine motor, creativity,
language/vocabulary, social/emotional, life skills,
thinking/learning)
* PLAY IS a child’s work!
Q: What do we mean by Developmental Skills?
A: (in no special order) tactile, visual, auditory, gross
and fine motor, social/emotional, creativity, life skills,
language and vocabulary, math/logic
(thinking/learning) and music.
