Educational Activities

  • Language Arts: Read the Duck and Goose series. We read A Book of Opposites (Duck & Goose)ir?t=momondea 20&l=as2&o=1&a=B005MHHZS6 pictured above and used the words from this book. You could also label the ducks with the alphabet, sight words, or whatever skill your child needs practice.
  • Math: Label the ducks with numbers and have your child create math problems using the numbered ducks.
  • Science: Discuss with your child the habitat that a duck would live in. You can create a pond picture with your child and have ducks floating around the habitat.
