Summer is approaching and school is drawing to a close for a while. But parents, did you realize you are the most influential educator in your young child's life? You bring them books from the library, educational toys and teach them all about life every day without realizing it. Take time now then to stock up on educational material to keep those young minds busy for vacation and the next few years! In addition to arts, crafts and reading, teach the little ones all about the very beginning of Science, starting with nature.
Seasons and weather are beginning Science topics taught to young children in the classroom often using cardboard figures, paper clothing and seasonal items. As a former teacher, I used to have the kids look out the window, decide on the daily weather forecast, and then dress teddy in the appropriate clothes. They would also decorate the background with clouds, sun, rain, etc. Why not start your child off right now learning these same things comfortably in their own home, in the car, or at the store using i Learn With Poko: Seasons and Weather! on your iPhone? I promise the amount of information loaded in this app far supersedes the paper cutouts that I formerly used! Plus the convenience of all this entertainment on your iPhone is second to none!
