Want to learn how everyday activities are actually teaching your toddler and preschooler necessary life skills as well as motor skills and coordination? Read this book by Barbara Curtis and see how she has created a preschool "curriculum" of sorts from ordinary everyday life. With her background as a Montessori teacher, she recognizes that each thing a child does can be a learning opportunity.
One example could be setting spoons on the table for breakfast and counting to three with mommy as it is done. A normal chore becomes a chance to reinforce some counting in a fun and helpful way.
