Teaching hearts to your child on valentines day~
Valentines Day is a time of great joy and celebration. Everyone is thinking hearts and love. People are wearing their red shirts and dress. Guess what, it is the perfect time to teach your child a new shape, the heart. That is right a new shape, a new color, a new word and a new sentence. When everyone is celebrating, your child can celebrate too.
At this time of the year, companies send special sale advertisements for candy hearts and flowers. Everything on the page is red or pink. Therefore, simply show your child a picture of a heart and say heart. Allow your child repeat the word and point to a heart on the newspaper ad. Find all the hearts and take turns pointing and saying heart. Make it seem like a game.
After your child has mastered identifying the heart, point to a red heart and say red heart. Find other red hearts and point to only red hearts. You may be tempted to teach your child pink heart, please wait. You want mastery.
Next, get a red crayon and say red. Then, draw a red heart and say” red heart.” Give your child the crayon and let him draw something and say red. Give your child his own crayon. Simultaneously the both of you draw hearts and other objects with the color red.
Finally yet importantly take your child to the store (Longs Drugs, Barnes and Nobles, Wal-Mart, Target, etc.) At this time stores have many inflated helium balloons, chocolate covered heart candy, stuffed animals with hearts, and decorative valentine cards. As you walk through the aisles point to the heart shaped balloons and say heart. Find the cards and look at the pictures together. Please remember if possible buy a little heart.
