Kanani went and picked a bucket for us to do together. She decided to pick the MATH bucket. I was quite surprised but very happy she picked something educational.
The first game we played was Fruits & Numbers Domino Game. She has to count the fruits and match the correct numbers with it. We just realized we are missing the number 13 card, but we had fun almost completing it. Got this game at Dollar Tree.
Another game is a matching game I bought from AVON Tiny Tillia. You can use in the bath tub, but the kids always play with it on the floor. Kanani was trying to teach Dartanian how to match and build the animals.
A very fun and easy activity to put together is the matching egg game. I wrote out the numbers 1-10 on the bottom of some plastic eggs and then drew some dots of the top of the eggs. I tired not to match the same color for the top and bottom of the eggs so she would have to actually work a little to match them.
Our frogs are numbered from 0-9 but we also make a 10 with them. She has to put the correct number of flies under the number written on the frog.
Here is another counting game from 1-10. I would call out a number and she would place the correct number of beads under the number.
We used plastic astronauts to place under the numbers. But with this game we actually counted backwards, which seemed fitting since they are astronauts.
Dartanian really enjoyed this activity. We were very surprised to see him match the numbers with the correct ones. I actually have a couple of videos of him doing it but for some reason it won't download. Love the activities we can all do together. Kanani is such a wonderful sister to Dartanian, she has such patience with him.
Made this clothes pin number match 1-10 wheel awhile ago when Kanani was in Pre-K. Its always a fun activity for her to review counting and colors. Dartanian of course wanted to join her in trying to match the pins.
For the kids birthdays their theme was Paw Patrol. One of their gifts was a pack of Jumbo Playing Cards. Kanani loves the game Goldfish so of course that's what we ended up playing.
It has been a wonderful day learning and playing all sorts of Math games.
Making learning fun!
GOD BLESS!
