The Mom I Want to Be

This is a fun way to help children identify letters or numbers.

 

To help children with letter/number recognition, along with taking turns.

 

Before You Start:

• Cut simple duck shapes from yellow contact paper (or laminated construction paper).

• Attach each duck to the side of a juice box.

• Cut out a square piece of contact paper and attach to the opposite side of the box.

• Using a permanent marker, print a letter or number on each square piece of paper.

• Place the boxes in a large container or kiddie pool that is half full of water (ducks faced up).

 

Have the children take turns picking a duck from the water. Ask the children to identify the letter/number on the bottom side of the box. If the child correctly identifies it, he/she points to a friend.  That child must quack like a duck.
