Dots and Spots Theme
TALK:
Show them some paper circles different sizes and talk about
sometimes circles have a different word to mean the same thing- spot, dot,
polka dot, circle, round. We are going to share a story today where you will
see how we see dots in things everyday! ( Lots of Dots book)

PLAY:
Use the parachute with kids and parents 10
minutes if they need to move around or if there is extra space before craft
time-- large flat sheet or tablecloth works too!
- Lift up with kids holding handles say peek a boo
- Put it down to the ground again
- Lift high so kids can go under
- Have kids lay on their backs with belly facing parachute and see if it touches their belly
- Walk in a circle holding the handles
- Have kids help put a couple of balls on the parachute each and shake them up like popcorn
- Use paper circles on the parachute and shake them around
