Abstract:
By connecting physical activity with learning, the books in this series provide preschoolers with educational enrichment as they explore, inquire, experiment, and discover. Filled with simple, stimulating games, they will have kids jumping, shaking, rolling, dancing, and clapping as they learn. Useful for parents, caregivers, and child care workers, the books contain fun activities that can be carried out easily and with minimal equipment. Activities like the Syllable Freeze Dance and Math Orchestra help young children develop number sense, practice counting and rhyming, and learn about letter shapes and story structure.
