help us keep good posture and that is important for good health.
*Demonstrate different shoes and their use in a particular
activity. These are some shoes and you may have an old catalog
showing different types of shoes as well or visit a department store
web site that sells shoes to look at some.

etc.

Activity > Numbers: Matching, Sorting, Sizing
Shoes
This activity is obviously easier to do at home and we can ensure
the shoes are fairly clean.
*Mix, Sort and Match:
Mix four to six pairs of shoes and have the children match
them correctly. (more pairs for older children to make the
activity challenging).
*Sizing: Small and Big
For younger children do a sizing activity and ask the children which
are the smallest and largest shoes and to line them up from largest
to smallest and vice versa.
