Start your pack with a list of expectations for the parents regarding language acquisition; namely, children are not expected to read going into kindergarten, but they should have a basic mastery of the alphabet. Write out a checklist of goals for the parents to refer to as their child works through the packet.
Include three language-themed worksheets for practice. These worksheets should focus on the child's learning how to write the ABCs, as well as learning how to write her name.
Add at least one page of activities that will help the child work on the alphabet. Suggest games like 'I Spy,' where the adults pick an object in the room, provide a clue by offering the first letter of the name of the object, and the child must then identify the object the parents have picked.
Recommend appropriate books for the parents to read aloud to their child on a separate page. Assisted reading helps children learn letter sounds.
Create a list of goals the child should work on for math development. Include both counting and shapes. Add a checklist for the parents so they can easily see what their child has mastered.
Include at least three math-themed worksheets. Have these concentrate on the child's learning how to write numerals 1 through 10, and on pattern and shape recognition.
Add a page of math-related games for the parents to play with their child. Suggest that they take toy money from a board game, and have the child count the money out loud. Have the child identify shapes within the toys he already plays with.
Add plenty of structured playtime to your packet. This will help the child develop important social skills, and also create an environment where learning is fun.
Include a page on art projects. Suggest crayons, which helps develop hand-eye coordination. Also include painting, which can show the child what happens when two colors mix.
Introduce a fitness component to the pack. Tell the parents to get outside and jump rope or play freeze tag with their child. If outside isn't possible, have them turn the living room into an obstacle course.
Add a page dedicated to musical activities. Have the child play drums on pots and pans or play the flute on empty bottles. Encourage the parents to expose the child to different styles of music to see which elements he likes.
