Color, Number and Letter Day
Source: Babycenter Community
Ages: 2-6 years
Instructions:Once a week, dedicate a color, assign a letter and a pick a number (from 1-10) for your little one to learn.
Color: Dress him/her in that color from head to toe, drop food coloring into pancakes or milk, while walking/driving point out all things in that color.
Number: Assemble the # of items that correspond to the number you select. Count them with your little one. Seperate the group of items and them add, subtract and bring them all together again. Go to the mailbox and count the number of mail received up to the number you selected (I usually get so much junk mail, this is doable up to 10). Count birds, flowers, cars...etc..
Letter: Assemble five to ten items beginning with the letter and go over it with your little one. As you go about the day, think of three to five spots that begin with that letter and point them out.
Incorporate all three....
Bake cookies with the food coloring, a certain number per pan that corresponds to selected number and decorate each cookie with the letter of the day
Its a fun way for kids to learn and provides organization throughout the day!
