Calamansi Fun

This is an activity that Caleb likes to play while he’s eating.
Just fill a bowl with water and add Calamansi. The old Calamansi will float while the new ones sink to the bottom.

Caleb used tongs to move them to a different container. It’s a simple tong activity just made more fun with water 🙂

It’s wonderful practice to strengthen the same muscles needed to hold a pencil 🙂

Dinosaur Footprints

Make dinosaur footprints on play dough. This activity is good for comparing and using the words: same, different, bigger, and smaller 🙂 You can also do this using animal figures.

Counting Game

I have to be creative in counting activities to keep Caleb’s attention. This is a counting game that we like to play.

Materials:
1. Counting cards
2. Number line for each player
3. Counters (we used pompoms and glass stones)

How to play:
1. Put the counting cards face down. Players take turns getting a counting card and counts the dots on the cards.

2. Then, the player puts the corresponding number of stones on the number line to match the number on the counting card.
