When we can talk about our feelings, they can become a lot less overwhelming, or upsetting, or scary. Just having a caring listener makes hard times more manageable. Talking about feelings can be a challenge for young children. While you can encourage talking, you can also help them find other creative ways to express their feelings -through artwork or making up puppet stories, and other ways that you have found to be helpful in your family. http://pbskids.org/rogers/make_believe/feel.htm FLOWERS Common Roadside Wildflowers of Missouri http://mdc.mo.gov/nathis/plantpage/flora/roadwild/ How People Make Fortune Cookies How People Make Plates http://pbskids.org/rogers/R_house/picpic.htm Common Missouri Spiders http://mdc.mo.gov/nathis/arthopo/mospider/ xMissouri Bats http://www.nps.gov/archive/ozar/batkey.htm#Little%20brown%20bat: xMissouri Owls http://mdc.mo.gov/nathis/birds/owls/ INSECTS Ant web sites and words and tune to “Ants Go Marching” http://www.niehs.nih.gov/kids/lyrics/antsgo.htm MISSOURI INSPECTS Common Missouri Wasps and Bees http://mdc.mo.gov/nathis/insects/mowasp/ Butterfly Gardening and Conservation in Missouri NO http://mdc.mo.gov/nathis/insects/butterf/ You can listen to, or make your own, thumb piano music. http://pbskids.org/africa/piano/haveflash.html Popular artists sing classic nursery rhymes and songs—some with animations How many dogs does Mr. Noodle want to walk?

VARIETY OF TOPICS Highlights for
Children http://www.highlightskids.com/default.asp Build a Neighborhood
Online Game An online build-a-picture game, it's fun because
kids get many choices and the quality of the pictures is very good. Move the
pictures around, zoom in and out, well done game from Mr. Rogers'
Neighborhood at PBS Kids. Lots of games so your child shouldn't get bored.
Graphic quality, learning potential, and ease of use make these games
winners. Somewhat clunky navigation back to more games and the games are
fairly slow loading. Overall, a great destination for online preschool games.
The prettiest preschool games online are at
Original. Choose one of the pretty watercolor pictures for a game that flows
at a less than frantic pace. Poisson Rouge - Online Games for Young
Children No reading required but your child will easily
follow the toys and games in the room. We especially love the paint box where
you can mix colors and wash your brush. |
