O (circle shapes)

• Painting O’s … my 3-year-old thought this was so cool!
  1. Need a blank paper and a shallow tray of paint (orange paint would work nicely for O week!)
  2. Dip the end of a toilet paper tube into the paint, then stamp O’s all over your paper.
  3. Try the end of a straw in another color of paint to make tiny circles.
  4. Try a clean, dry plastic bottle top (you know, the screw on kind from juice bottles or a gallon of milk) for medium circles.
  5. You could even use a cup turned upside-down dipped in paint.

 

• NAME-O!
  1. Write each of the kids' names on a strip of paper. To make the game a little more exciting write their full name.
  2. Give then a cup of O-shaped cereal.
  3. Place a set of letter cards in a bag.
  4. To play, remove a card and let the kids announce the letter.
  5. The kids see if they have that letter and, if so, cover it with a cheerio.
  6. When all their letters are covered, they can call out "Name-O!" Clear the cards & play again!
• Play with a Hoola Hoop or make a simple Ring Toss game.
• Circle Shape Hunt
  1. Go on a shape hunt around the house and find as many different circles shapes as you can (clock, plates, balls, doorknobs…)

Snack Idea: a bagel with your favorite spread and decorated with Cheerios
