Day 28 - - Watch the Sky

Summer Fun

No matter when it is, day or night - the sky has a lot to offer in the way of learning for your child. You can spend an afternoon spent relaxing on a blanket outside, watching the clouds and finding recognizable shapes. And you can do the same at night, tracing the constellations in the stars.

Before and after skywatching, read some of these board books with your baby or toddler to teach and reinforce concepts:
