Environmental Print Play


Quinn is enjoying a basket full of food box pieces right now.  I cut off the fronts of granola bars, applesauce, pasta, Chick-fil-a nuggets, cereal, etc. and put them together in a basket.  She pretends to buy the items at the store, gives them to her babies, and incorporates them into dramatic play.  She is also absorbing concepts about the print on the front of them as she works with them.  She will ask me to read them to her or she'll point out letters/ask me why there is a certain letter on the front.  I don't do any formal instruction with them--just let her play and follow her lead.
