Counting to 100

Using some scraps of colored cardstock, I made these..

Each set of “tens” are color coded for control of error.  We use these to practice counting from 1 to 100 and sometimes for skip counting. 

There are a lot more possible activities that can be played with it of which I have to discover yet. 

 

Happy weekend!

Pine Cone Painting

My son is fond of collection pine cones.  Because I got tired of seeing them around the house, here’s what we did with them...

 

 

Now we got  lots of these colorful pine cones and I just have to look for some baskets in the thrift shop where I can pile them and display it in our kitchen window.

Homemade Moveable Alphabet

I have always wanted to own a Montessori Moveable Alphabet because my dearest little boy is so obsessed with letters.  Sadly, I haven’t seen it here and if there’s such, we might not afford it.

So I made use of our printer and a white cardstock to make my own moveable alphabet without even purchasing a pdf file online.  I printed a few copies, laminated them, cut and tada!!! We now have our very own moveable letters!

Clouds for Preschoolers (FREE nomenclature cards)

We had a week of wonderful weather so I grabbed the opportunity to discuss about clouds since we’ve been staying mostly outdoors.

I made these 3-part cards of the different type of clouds.  As you can see, I only talked about basic types like the cumulus, stratus and cirrus.  Then I added those ones which we mostly see here like contrails, fog and lenticulars.
