Chalk hopscotch: a play idea for 3 year olds

You need: sidewalk chalk.

1. Draw a row of squares on the sidewalk and number them 1 to 6.
2. Show your child how to jump from square to square.
3. Say the number as you land on each one.
4. Try hopping on one foot for one square.

Builds: moving and using hands and thinking and problem solving. Jumping and saying numbers in order joins counting and balance.

Safety: Hold hands near roads and driveways, and play where there are no cars. Keep chalk out of mouths.
