  Ideas To Bring Our Spring Theme Home  ● Trees are about to bloom. Explain to your child some fruits that grow on trees. Cut out pictures from a magazine and glue them on paper tree. ● When you think of March you think of green. Go around the house and play “I spy something green”. See how many things you and your child can find that are green. ● Take advantage of a windy day and take your child to fly a kite. Explain how the wind will blow the kite  higher and that it’s important to hold onto the string. ● Take a walk outside. Stop and listen. What do you hear? Do you hear a bird? A car? A dog barking? If you can anticipate what your child might hear, it is a good idea to bring some pictures with you to assist in choice making. ● Where does it live? You live in a house, go over some places that animals live (nest, doghouse, cave, ocean, etc). Make a collage with pictures you find of different “homes”. Surf the web or use magazines. ● Make a how do you feel book. Find pictures of people feeling different emotions. Include pictures of others or yourself when they are happy, sad, surprised, etc. ● Go to a duck pond and feed the ducks. Decide what would be good for the ducks to eat and what wouldn’t be good for them to eat. ● Pick some flowers. How do they smell? How do they feel? Do they make you sneeze? What do they look like? Will you keep them or give them to someone special?
