From
time to time, let the children help with
the food shopping list. As your child checks
shelves to see what's needed, your child learns
to spell words like bread and cheese
and a little about food measures, weights
and costs.
The children select a simple recipe
(e.g. Jell-O), read the directions and
do the "cooking." If your child
is a prereader, you read directions
and your child does as much of the work
as they can.
Write a number in each cup of an egg
carton. Into each, your child places
a corresponding number of buttons.
