How to Use the Christmas Tree Toss Game as a Learning Tool
Games are the absolutely perfect way to teach your preschooler some fun and simple concepts!
This simple activity can be used to teach colors, counting and sequence.
Have you preschooler count the kisses as he tosses them into the cups.
Have him count the ones he got into the cup and the ones that landed outside of the cup.
Tell your preschooler to toss the green ones first, the red ones second and the gold kisses last.
Theses are simple learning add-ons but a powerful way for your child to learn any of the basic concepts a preschooler may struggle with.
This colorful handprint twister is a great way to teach colors too!
