Zip a zipper. Zipping your coat or pants takes practice, along with a good deal of manual dexterity. Have your child practice working with zippers in a variety of settings such as clothes, lunchboxes, pencil pouches, and backpacks.
Numbers: 20 (twenty)
💡 Play time tip: Make a number caterpillar. Using different colored construction paper, cut out circles and write numbers 1-20 on them. Make another circle for the caterpillar’s head. Have your child build the caterpillar by putting the numbers in order.
