Sticker Sets

Posted on October 3, 2013November 8, 2013 by domesticgoddess

Using stickers to make sets.
Just another fun way to count.

Caleb kept on telling me that the number 1 was missing. Maybe I should’ve made the numerals 1-3. Thought that would be too easy. Oh well!

This took some time to finish since Caleb would lose count while taking the sticker out of its plastic liner. No complaints from me! That just meant more counting practice for him. He would recount every after he puts a sticker on the paper to make sure that the numeral and the number of stickers matched.

Long and Short

Caleb wanted to do some “studying” but I wasn’t able to prepare for homeschool since we just got back from holiday and I was still on holiday mode. Anyway, here is our instant homeschool activity! Grouping and comparing long and short straws.
I cut the straws and Caleb sorted them by length and stuck them on play doh.

Inspecting the straws.

Hard at work.

All done!

Caleb did this activity quite fast and wanted to do more! I guess he really missed our study time. So I gave him some popsicle sticks to sort.

He described the sticks as fat and thin.

When Caleb was done, he still wanted to do some more so I challenged him to use the sticks to make a cage for his dinosaur. This took some time for him to figure out and had some help from me 😉

He was happy with his creation.

Lock and Keys

Posted on September 21, 2013November 8, 2013 by domesticgoddess

I provided Caleb with plenty of keys and told him to open the lock.

He tried using a big key first.
CALEB: It’s not fit. (Meaning: It doesn’t fit)
ME: Oh no! Why not?
CALEB: It’s too big!
ME: Try another one.

He found the set of small keys and tried it on the lock.

Great workout for those little fingers!

There were three small keys in the set.
After trying them one by one, he was able to open the lock.

Happy face of success!
