Icicle Cards

Is it freezing where you live? We have such cold weather here, but no snow right now! Truthfully, I'd rather have snow if it's going to be so cold out! We do, however, have icicles. Icicles are so pretty! The icicles inspired me to do some activities with my kids, like create a model of an icicle. I also created these Count and Clip Icicle Cards that are great for working on fine motor skills, counting, and one-to-one correspondence (which means matching numerals to objects). Here's what … [Read more...]

Activities for Numbers 11-20

by Angela Thayer 20 Comments

The numbers 11- 20 are tricky for kids to learn. In fact, my kids have both thought there was a number called "eleventeen"! I've had several requests to share some activities for numbers 11 through 20, so today I'm sharing a couple! First up is the Number Spin. I created this from a toilet paper roll. I painted it orange with acrylc paint. Then I took a a piece of card stock paper and wrote the numbers 0-9 on it.

Fine Motor Skills: Tweezers & Goldfish

by Angela Thayer 8 Comments

One of our favorite Dr. Seuss books is One Fish, two fish, red fish, blue fish. It's such a silly book, but that's probably why my oldest likes it! Since we focus on fine motor skills on Thursdays, I came up with an activity with tweezers & goldfish to go along with this book. It's designed to strengthen fine motor skills and to help with counting and one-to-one correspondence. I created this Fine Motor Fish sheet to go along with the activity. The goal is to take tweezers, pick up a … [Read more...]
