Congratulations to Jennifer Smallwood, The winner of the $20 dollar supply card drawing to the Middleport, Ohio Family Dollar Store.
To be eligible to win a Supply Card your family must be enrolled in Gallia Meigs Community Action Agency's Help Me Grow Program. You will need to keep a daily record of one or two things you and your child do together each day that promotes appropriate infant/toddler development. Then you can give it to your Service Coordinator, drop it off at HMG, or mail it to us.
April is a good month to talk about how things grow and a great way to fill up your calendar by checking on it every day and recording the process. A fun activity is to take a Styrofoam cup and draw a face on it. Then help your child fill it with potting soil. Place grass seed on top of soil and water or mist lightly. Your creation will have hair in a matter of days. You can give it a hair cut and it will grow more. You could even plant sprouts and then have them on a sandwich or in a salad. This will provide hand and eye coordination, language development, and movement just to name a few learning domains.
Don't forget that April is Get Caught Reading Month and Children's Book Week. Contact your local Library for special programing to celebrate. Story Hour is a good place to practice socialization skills, listening skills, large motor control, and learn some new songs and finger plays.Call your library today!
