Children's Activities - Intro

By Stephanie Boyle

Children's activities, I've learned a few tricks over the years of working with children. You need to keep a child interested and that might mean many different types of activities. Crafts and cooking are definitely some good options, however with how short a child's attention span is, it's nice to have a wide variety of options available to pull from.

It's also nice to have educational value in the children's activities you do with them. Most activities can have some type of educational value in it for a child. A childcare center should have different sections for each educational purpose. Around the home you should also have all these areas to choose from as well/. There are 8 different sections a childcare center should have which include Active Play, Art, Blocks, Music, Language Arts, Math, Dramatic Play, and Science. So here is a few of the children's activities that I've learnt and done with children over the years.
