All About Me! Part 1
This week's theme is All About Me! We're kicking things off with some five senses exploration, a scavenger hunt, a fun and easy April Fool's joke, and more.
Be sure to check the Jim Henson's Family Hub website every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday for more fun stuff!
Watch Together
In this episode of Word Party, Bailey helps Kip explore outside using his five senses. After watching, ask your child: What senses did the babies use? Which one did they not use outside? Why do you think that was?

April Fools!
Young children don't always understand holidays like April Fools, so it's best to keep things simple and clear. Try writing a funny message to your child on toilet paper, as suggested by today.com. Make that message 'don't forget to wash your hands,' and you've killed two birds with one stone, my friend!
Five Senses Scavenger Hunt!
If possible, head outside with your child for a five senses scavenger hunt, or just do one around your home! Click below for a printable scavenger hunt sheet with your guides, Kip and Bailey.
