It’s Easter Sunday today and this morning, the toddlers and I prepared Easter cards to give away. As with most of the activities that we do, I try to incorporate something that would hone their thinking skills. So while creating our Easter cards this morning, I gave my little Jade a Math activity.
For this activity, I cut out small baskets from used board paper and flowers from a used gift wrapper. On the flowers, I wrote the numbers 2, 3, and 4. I had Egg Stickers printed beforehand since we were to use them for making the cards.
Here are the instructions I gave my little Jade, which I am proud to say she was able to follow without assistance.
- Get three eggs and place them on the pink basket. Two eggs on the blue basket. Four eggs on the red basket.
- Color the eggs. (This one she wasn’t able to do properly though. She was in no mood for coloring)
- Count the eggs on the pink basket and get the flower that shows the correct number. How about the blue basket? The red basket?
Jade was able to count the eggs in each basket and to find the corresponding flower for each. She has actually known the concept of counting from one to twenty for months now. Her little brother has been able to count by rote from one to ten at an early age just by watching his sister practice her counting skills.
Thanks for sharing about these free printables.
