Curious Buddies - Helping at Home

*Note – This is not the best interactive DVD. Most of it you would demonstrate during regular playtime (picking up toys, sharing, etc).

Items Needed: Help make a fruit salad
1. Apple
2. Orange
3. Banana
4. Grapes
5. Strawberries

Kids help wash the fruit and then you chip it up for a salad. Let the kids spoon it into bowls and eat it as a snack. Clean up with help from the kids.

*Sorting Boxes: Put toys on the table and let the kids sort them into proper boxes. Such as Lego’s in one box, blocks in another, balls in another, etc. (all items should be small enough to use at the table).

*Matching Socks: Have a pile of brightly colored socks in the middle of the table and let the kids match pairs and put them neatly in a box.
*A pile of socks for each child would make it easier.

*Discuss – In and Out
Demonstrate with small boxes that have tops. Put items in the box and then take the top off and remove item. Let kids practice putting in and taking out. 5” x 5” gift boxes with tops would be about the right size. Small toy animals, people or cars would do for demonstration.
