Extension Activities: More Ways to Play and Learn:
- Help the child sort the pieces into two groups: tops and tutus. Help the child count the pieces in each group. Then count all the pieces together.
- Help the child identify the colors on the pieces. Compare two of the pieces and ask the child: “Does this piece have any colors that the other piece does not?”
- Name a color, pattern, or feature (such as hearts or flowers) and ask the child to gather all of the pieces that fit the rule. How many outfits can be made with the collected pieces?
- Encourage the child to mix and match the pieces to find a favorite combination.
- Trace a top and tutu on a piece of paper and let the child color in her own design. Encourage the child to draw a matching tiara and ballet shoes as well.
