Like most young children, three year old Keegan is fascinated with the passage of days. He enjoys the rhythm of our weekly routines, and is trying hard to keep it all straight. Each morning he wakes asking, "What day is it?" "Is it Monday? Do we go to the piano teacher?" or, "When is it Sunday to go to church?" Even cleaning day (Friday) is exciting!
Keegan and other wee folk are going to love the fantastic idea featured over at Tadpole Tales. (Not to mention that the blog's froggy and tadpole theme is such fun!--I may be partial, being from PrairieFrog Academy, myself, but a site where Kermit is lauded as hero, and favorite dishes include "Fried Flies" earns a few extra points for sheer frogginess.)
Her method is easy (I can do this!): A hand-drawn chart with the days of the week and pictures representing activities can be colored by the child. Put it up on the refrigerator and let the child move a magnetic girl or boy to the appropriate day each morning! A picture is worth a thousand words, so head over to Tadpole Tales to see the real thing!
Simple brilliance! I have some magnetic sticky-back-tape in the craft drawer just waiting for a great project like this.
