How Do Ideas Travel?
Many ideas come from beyond our immediate surroundings. How do they get to us? Information moves from one person to another through telephones, mail, television, radio, faxes, and computers. Even posters, bumper stickers, and graffiti communicate ideas. Try these activities:
Activities for ages 2-3
- Two-year-olds learn that ideas and information travel. Teach your children to talk on the telephone with Mommy or Daddy at work or Grandma who lives in another house. They need to learn to say "hello" and "goodbye," and to learn that the person at the other end of the line cannot see them, so they must use words to communicate.
- Give toddlers a lot of paper, crayons, and markers so they can send messages to others. Their early scribbles are without form, but as they get older the letters and pictures may become clearer.
- Toddlers see the mail being delivered. They can scribble on paper and give you their pictures to mail to Grandpa.
