Digital tools are a great way to help your little one foster their learning in mathematics! 🔢 The National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) shares two ways you can implement this:

📱 Use tablet features: One of the simplest ways to use a tablet to encourage early math learning is to use the features that come with it, such as the photo and video app. For example, take a photo of the block corner, then count how many blocks are in the picture.

🕹 Expand Math Games: Apps and digital games can be paired with books, puzzles, art activities, or social experiences to provide multimodal experiences.

It's important for children to stay active, even when the weather is cold. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, children need an hour or more of physical activity a day. To help your child meet this goal, here are six tips to consider to help keep kids moving:

👯‍♀️ Throw a dance party: Get moving to the radio, online music channels, or even your old albums!

🎳 Adventure out: When cabin fever hits, head to the bowling alley, local gym, ice skating rink, or indoor trampoline park!

🤳 Try some (Active!) screen time: Try some active video games like Just Dance, ARMS, Zumba Fitness World Party, Fitness Boxing, and Mario Tennis Ace.
