The Mom I Want to Be

 

Practice an ABAB pattern with your preschooler (useful for building pre-math skills) using a large circle and rectanglular strips (1 1/2 by 3 inchs). We alternated yellow and orange several times to fit around the “sun”. We will also be using it as a summer countdown calendar (there are twelve “rays”, perfect for the twelve weeks of summer!). You can laminate them and attach Velcro to make them last. It’s fun without the laminating as well, but more disposable.
