Periodically we create a genius activity at our property ... which means it is one that BOTH children enjoy and is a hit for hours over and over!
A few weeks ago my next-door neighbor gave us some of her baby dolls and also toys. My youngsters currently each have a pink stroller as well as they invest loads of time racing their cabbage spot dolls around the house in their strollers. My son is constantly composing new ready them that include running as well as going after (something I enable my children to do in certain components of our residence).
Because my little individual is actually curious about numbers as well as checking, we decided to develop some stroller races that entailed checking, number acknowledgment, and also addition.
We got a bathtub of our sphere pit balls and also brought them to our racing location. I marked off the begin and also finish line, got some paper plates and stuck some numbered notecards on them, and then positioned them at the finish line.
After that we started with the video game!
Each kid got their very own plate with a number on it. My toddler got basic numbers (1-3) and my son had harder numbers (6+).
They had to consider the number on their plate, fill out their stroller with that many rounds (I aided my young child naturally!), then race to fill their plate with the appropriate number of balls!
As soon as their plates were filled, we counted the balls, made certain they had the ideal number, and afterwards placed them back in the strollers as well as competed back and place them in their bathtub ... then we began throughout once more!
As the video game advanced, I made it harder for my boy by including two numbers to his plate. He needed to add them together and then put the amount of both numbers on his plate.
Sometimes he required more than one stroller to get them there ... so he obtained imaginative! His little sis enjoyed aiding him!
This was such a great movement activity that also encouraged discovering- our favored form of learning activities for kids!!!
I believe we will be using this activity to teach a selection of other finding out skills due to the fact that it was SO ENJOYABLE!
