and talk about pictures.

hours and to check out books.

telephone number.

adventure that your child wants to know.
- Plan an indoor game (cards,
board games, dominoes, etc.)
- Play outdoors (kickball,
throwing and catching a ball, running, climbing and jumping)
- Make something in the
kitchen together (cookies, sandwiches, salad, etc.)
- Take a trip (to the park,
train station, museum, zoo, etc.) and talk about it.
- Walk or ride the route to
and from your new school, when preparing for kindergartenl.
- Encourage and support your
child for trying something new.
