The current content on this site will be available throughout the summer. We invite educators to explore ReadyRosie’s complete family engagement platform to help schools and programs partner with families throughout the summer and into the new school year.

Modeled Moment: Mirror, Mirror

This video was modeled at a restaurant, but the same activity can be done at home. Help your child strengthen finger and hand muscles as well as review colors and basic shapes while playing this game. Place a menu, book, or folder between you. Give your child step by step instructions of what you are drawing on your paper and ask your child to do the same. After a few instructions, remove the barrier and compare your two drawings to see how similar they are.
