Toddler
Newspaper -
All toddlers want to be like mom and dad, or any
adult. So here's a chance for them to pretend like
they are adults. Take an old section of the
newspaper, penny pincher or local newspaper and
tape pictures of animals to the pages. Now sit
down on the floor with your toddler and start to
pretend to read the newspaper. Surely he'll want
to see what you are doing. Have him flip the next
page and act surprised when you see the animals.
He'll get excited. Review the names of the animals
and ask him if he thinks there are more. Continue
to look through the paper and talk about the
animals or any other pictures that you see in the
newspaper (car ads, people, kids, objects). Its a
great way to get your toddler familiar with this
reading material and learn animals at the same
time!
Supplies Needed- - Old newspaper
- pictures of animals, printed clipart
Tips/Suggestions- -
Keep some wipes handy since the newspaper ink can easily come off on the little
fingers.
- You little one will like to see what sound the paper makes when the page is
turned, so the activity might take a detour. Remember to go with it!
