This activity can be as simple as a few hand puppets or as creative and involved as you want to get. Below are a few ideas to take it to the next level!
- Cut out shapes, animals, or characters.
- Grab a book and act it out with your shadows as you read along.
- Take turns making different shapes or animals with your hands have the other person try and guess what they are.
- Create an entire scene from your child's favorite book or movie. Setup your camera to get a picture of it when complete!
At the end of the day, it is about quality time with your child. Be present, enjoy the moment.

Before or after dinner, to help release the ever present kid wiggles, set up a family dance party. Get a speaker and some favorite family tunes going. Let your child make up a dance move and let everyone else copy it for a bit. This allows them to "own" their own rhythm, and it is very fun to see what they come up with!
