When Caleb finished filling all the numbers with macaroni, we moved on to matching the numbers and the dotted paper. I took out all the dotted paper and let him match these to the numerals.

Then, we added some number magnets into the activity.
It was Caleb’s idea to put the same numbers together.

Ribbon Scraps

Posted on by domesticgoddess

Do you like to keep ribbons from presents that you’ve received? I have a whole tin box full of ribbons that I cannot bear to throw away.
The ribbons just keep on coming and I already have a hard time keeping the box lid on. So I thought of this activity to put those ribbons to good use 🙂

Cut up some ribbons and used them for a matching/sorting activity.

Here are some pictures of Caleb at work.

Counting Umbrellas

Posted on by domesticgoddess

Found these umbrellas at the supermarket and decided to use them as counters. Here’s a picture of Caleb putting them into plastic cups labelled with numbers. This activity is more challenging than the counting cards activity

Goofing around and having some fun.

CALEB: It’s rainy and I use the little umbrella. It’s so tiny!

Caleb is pretending to hold an imaginary umbrella since we closed up all the umbrellas.
