Babies brains are incredible: they can learn multiple languages at once and by the age of just 6 months, can distinguish between different languages! In the first years of life, there is extraordinary potential for learning, so don’t hesitate to share songs and stories in any language you know!
Did you know that you can use regular LEGO to practice coding? Check out this coded maze challenge from Research Parent! Once you understand the basics, you can start asking questions like: How can I do this with fewer steps? Can I automate a decision?
Children learn and practice language through play, so how can you put that into practice? Take familiar songs and add actions or props! Or, get imaginative during playtime and prompt your child to play a new game! Join Sarah for a playful rhyme that’s great for celebrating swirling, snowy days!
Get creative and learn to code at home! Join Library programmer, Max, and follow along with these step by step coding tutorials. This week we will find out how to use Makecode’s version of Python with the micro:bit! Head to makecode.microbit.org and follow along!
You are your child’s favourite playmate and play is how children learn, so for today’s sing along, let’s pretend and play together! Hope in the elevator, it’s time for a ride!
