Draw a map of your house or your block.
Read interesting tidbits of information that you find in newspaper or magazines aloud to your child and discuss, or better yet, have your child read the information to you.

Write letters or numbers using shaving cream or chocolate pudding.
Make letters or words out of clay.
Count the number of windows, doors, and stairs in the house.
