The Mom I Want to Be

Today is a little preschool activity that involves early counting.

 

Cut up several pieces of cardstock (according to the size of your pieces) and number them 1-6 (or 1-10 or 1-20). Lay them out in a grid pattern. Gather the pieces you will use from around the house. It is preferable that your pieces be the same shape, color and size. But if not, I say, work with what you got. The dollar store might be a great place to look if you don’t have any resources at home.

 

 

Some examples of pieces:

 

Game pieces

legos (same color and size)

beads

wooden or plastic blocks

cotton balls or q-tips

small food items like baby carrots or cherry tomatoes
