Way back in October, while waiting for Daddy to run an extremely long errand,
Bear and I did an awesome pre-reading activity.
We played I Spy with a FedEx envelope.
It kept Bear from getting bored
and she practiced her letters and letter sounds without even realizing it!
Good old I spy - that game is often a life saver for us too.
ReplyDeleteThe butterfly wings you made are dreamy and so delicate. Bear must love these.
I like the way you adapted the spindle box idea. How sweet that bear was concerend for 0 as there were no popsicle stickes for zero.
I like the idea of dropping an object, like your felt strawberries, onto specified numbers. I think Savvy would enjoy this challenge as well.
One of the ways we have made learning about numbers an active experience is outlined in this link (under the numeracy heading):

I hope that you and your family have a wonderful Christmas and a New Year that is filled with happiness, good health and peace.
