Craft: Flower Counting Picture
Our craft this week was based on the photo to the left. We revised it to be a craft. The kids colored a sheet with five stems and leaves on it. They then glued on the appropriate number of circles according to the numbers written at the top of the stems.
Literacy Extensions:
- Practice counting while eating. Have your child count the number of bites it takes to eat a sandwich, the number of chocolate chips in their cookie, or the number of chips they have, etc.
- Have your child come up with their own counting rhyme like Ten Terrible Dinosaurs where they count down as items disappear.
