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.

U is for Underwear

Posted on by domesticgoddess

We are now studying tetter U and one of the words that begin with the short /u/ is underwear. Thought this would be a fun activity. I showed Caleb real underwear (no pictures of course!)– his, mine and Dada’s. Then we did this activity.

Gluing the clothes (Note: using this kind of glue is better than glue stick because it strengthens the hand and finger muscles that they use for writing 🙂 )
