Penguin song by The Learning Station

Language and Literacy
(Print concepts)
Writing the first letter of their name in salt on a tray. Then letting them drawing freely with their fingers. (I have the feeling that is the idea behind etch a sketch).
Expect a mess. Don't let them run in it, it makes the floor slippery. Have the broom nearby and sweep often during the activity. It is a good idea to have some small ones for the children to use, that's the best way to prevent them from running.
