What you need

Paper and a large child-appropriate crayon.

Age: 3–5 years; choose for the individual child.

Let's make it happen

  1. Draw a picnic basket and a large plate.
  2. Write a familiar uppercase letter on the basket and its lowercase partner on the plate.
  3. Connect the matching letters and imagine what food the picnic guests might enjoy.

Stay beside your child and put supplies away afterward.
