Let’s face it, sometimes teaching our children isn’t always as easy as we may think. They get bored, frustrated, and distracted quite easily. Why? Because if we are being fair, it is easy to admit that learning time isn’t always fun. With endless toys competing for our children’s attention, how can we possibly expect them to choose learning new elementary skills over time with their newest toy?
Well, guess what?… you CAN expect it!
How? By turning the one thing most kids can’t turn down into learning time! If you haven’t guessed it already… I’m talking about SNACK TIME!
I have yet to find a child that wouldn’t gladly accept a snack when offered. In fact, I’m floored when we make it to noon in our household and my child has only asked for 2 snacks as opposed to her normal 3-4 request. While breakfast, lunch, and dinner (despite how incredibly hard you may work to prepare a beautiful meal) do not always cut it in your child’s eyes, snack time is ALWAYS a hit!
So, why not turn snack time into learning time?
While different snacks are great for teaching different elementary skills, our current favorite is RITZ Crackers.
Here’s why:
- Their large size are great for little eyes to visualize and count with easily.
- The smooth and flat surface make fine motor manipulation easy for young children.
- Their round shape works wonderful for teaching circles.
- The ability for them to easily break in half helps teach halves versus whole.
- Their ability to stack and build a tower makes counting fun and exciting.
- And lastly, their delicious taste makes the entire process that much more fun in the end.
As shown in the photo above, RITZ Crackers provide for such a fun learning time in our household that even our dog wants to be a part of the fun ;).
With RITZ Crackers being a staple in our pantry (for all the reasons I noted above), my favorites include: RITZ Original Classic Crackers, RITZ Whole Wheat Classic Crackers, and RITZ Original Fresh Stacks (all of which are available in-store at Walmart).
