Estimating with coiiectionswhether your youngster realizes it or not,
she's probably a collector. Shemighthavelotsofscrunchies, rocks, or stickers, for instance. Here'show she can use her treasures to estimate.
Choose StorageLetyour child finda way to display her collec
tion. First she'll have to consider the size and number of her items. Willan emptyjellyjar be bigenoughfor all her scrunchies? She can put them in to find out.Not enough room? She'llneed a largercontainer.
MakecomparisonsDoes your youngster
have more animal stickers
or food stickers? More
smooth rocks or roughones? Which color
scrunchie does she have
the most of? She could
estimate, then sort andcount to check. Now
suggest that she makeestimates within each
group. For example, shemight estimatewhich type of food sticker she has the mostof—fruits, vegetables, or desserts. Have her count to see howclose her estimate was. W
AThat's my age!
Six candles on a cake ... your childlightsup at the meremention of her special number: her age. Use this excitement to help her recognize and representnumbers.
Encourageyour youngster to makegroups of objects (crayons, forks, blocks,toys) that have the same number as herage. For example, if she's 6, she mightstand 6 toy dinosaurs together.
Yourchild can also use her age tosolve problems and represent other numbers. How old will she be next year? Shewould show 7 dinosaurs (6+1 = 7).How old was she last year? She shouldshow 5 dinosaurs (because 6-1 = 5).
Idea: Have her represent other familymembers' ages, too. Can she use a box of36 crayons for Dad's age? ^

Design a mini-frampollneBounce, bounce, bounce!
With this experiment, your youngster will testdifferent materials to make the bounciesttrampoline.
You'll need: three identical bowls, plastic wrap, aluminum foil, cloth napkin or dish towel, three rubber bands, small plastic animal
Here's how: Help your child stretch adifferent material (plastic, foil, cloth)over each bowl to create aflat surface and then secure each "trampoline" with arubber band. To test his trampolines, he should drop an animal on each one.
What happens? The toy bounces on the plastic-covered bowl but not on thefoil- or cloth-covered ones.
Why? The plastic is the best material for the job, since it is stretchy, or elastic.In real life, gymnasts and acrobats jump on trampolines that use elastic material,too.
A math walk In the parkMy mother-in-law
teaches math, and sheoften gives me good ideas to try with ourson Stephen. Recently, she suggestedthat we take a "math walk." She said I
should ask Stephen what he's workingon in math, and then we could look forexamples outdoors.
On our next trip to thepark, Stephen said hewas learning about"equal parts." Whenwe stopped for a picnic, he pointed outthat our table had
four equal rectangles. Then wenoticed people
playing volleyball, and he said therewere two teams of six people each, for atotal of 12 people.
During our most recent walk, Stephen told me he's studying symmetry.An object has symmetry, he said, ifeach side is a mirror image of the other.
He spotted a flying flock ofgeese and realized the "V"
was symmetrical, and 1saw a symmetrical swingset on the playground.
Our math walks giveme a glimpse into whatStephen is learning—and they let him practice his skills in a
real-world way.

Taco-in-a-mugHere's an easy way for
your child to make herown "taco-in-a-mug." Let her putcooked shredded chicken in the bot
tom, then layer taco ingredients. Shemight add low-fat pepper jack cheese,salsa, and lettuce. She cansprinkle on crumbledbaked tortilla chipsand eat right outof the cup!
Playing togetherwhat's one of the best ways to getyour youngster moving and havingfun?Join him! Suggest that the two ofyou throw a football together, or askhim to teach you how to skateboard.You'll set a good example, get someexercise, and enjoy time together.
Introduce your child tohealthy foods at the grocery store—for free.
Stores often let shoppers sample newitems, such as edamame or tri-colorquinoa. Say "yes" to anything nutritious that's offered and encourageher to try it. Then, add the productsyou both like to your shopping cart.

your child likes—or may like once hetries them! Add cinnamon to butternut
squash or sliced almonds to stringbeans. Or before cooking veggies, drizzle them with olive oil, then sprinkle oncayenne pepper or chili powder (forheat) or oregano, rosemary, and basil(for an Italian flair).
Turn a spinner from an old board gameinto a fitness tool. Here's how.
1. Yourchild can cover each wedge ofthe spinner with a strip of maskingtape. On each strip, have her write afun way to move. Examples: "Hop likea frog." "Twirl like a ballet dancer.""Fly like an airplane."
2. To play, one person spins the spinner,reads the action, and calls out something in the yard to tag (perhaps a bush).
3. Everyone follows the direction (hop, twirl) on the way to the bush and backto the spinner. The first person back spins next. 9^

Use.Ask your child to pick outrecipes and help you cook them.She could take a photograph ofherself with each dish and mail itin a thank-you card to the relativewho gave her the recipe.
Idea: Inviteyour youngster to share her cookbook withrelatives at Thanksgiving.
This keepsakewill teach your childabout nutritious foods—^and help youadd more options to your family's meals.
Collect. Have your youngster ask relatives for recipes they'd like to share.Look them over together, and pickout the healthier ones. For instance,your child might choose a casserolewith tomato sauce rather than one with
heavy cream.
