Focus- ability to focus

Collage

Ajani did this collage on August 8,2014 he was 2 years and 11 months. Several pictures were in a container and he choose the ones that he wanted and actually pasted them right side up. He was able to do this because of the experience that he has had with books.

Activities like these teaches self-regulation ,the ability to focus  among other things. Many children  are not able to focus these skills must be taught during the early years when the wires in the brain is being connected.

At home  you should cut some pictures out and keep them in a container where the toddler has access to it. Allow the child to squeeze the glue bottle  she will pour a lot at fist . You will just need to guide and encourage.You will also get a chance to introduce new words -such as squeeze,little , collage, too much.
You can also have a  discussion about the pictures.You can do intentional teaching by cutting out certain pictures . This is a great way to introduce the shapes  also.
This is a school readiness skill
