 Knock!
Knock! ...-
Have some fun with the old "Knock!
Knock!....Who's There?" joke. This is an activity
that will have your child playing a form of peek-a-boo
and learning what "knocking" is all about and learning
the names of relatives and friends. You'll need to print
out the door to the right and cut the door out. Then
tape it to a piece of paper ( any color) only on one
side, where it hinges. This way you should be able to
open the door. Now find some photos that you don't
mind cutting up and cut out the faces/bodies of some
friends or relatives. Put a photo under the door flap,
put the paper down on some cardboard ( or something
hard) and then have your toddler knock on the door while
saying "knock, knock". Then have her ask "who's there?".
Have her open the door and identify who she sees. You
might need to help her with the name. Do it again, and
don't let her see what photo you put under the door flap
so that she can be surprised! Then let her pick a photo
to put behind the door and have you the parent knock and
ask who's there. She'll give out a squeal in
anticipation!
 Supplies
Needed:
- Printer and paper to
print out the
door image. (If you don't have a printer you
can always make a door from some brown construction
paper)
- photos of friends and relatives
-
scissors
- tape
Tips/Suggestions:
- You can glue the paper and the door flap to some
cardboard so that it doesn't slip around.
- If you don't have photos to use you can always use
pictures of animals too.
