Enough is Enough
Suggest that your child bring some of her stuffed animals to the table to
have a party.
First, have her put one in each chair to see if there are “enough” chairs for
the animals.
Next, give her enough paper or plastic plates for each one. Ask her if she
has “enough.”
Do the same with napkins and cups.
Give her some grapes (cut in half), banana slices, or other healthy snack food to
share with her animal friends! Check to see if there is “enough” for everyone.
Plenty of Patterns
Get stickers in two different colors or cut out circles or squares from two
different colors of construction paper.
Make a row of stickers on a piece of paper by alternating the colors—for
example, red, blue, red, blue, red, blue, and so on.
Have your child copy your pattern and make one just like it under yours.
If your child does this with ease, add a third color and make a row of green,
blue, red, green, blue, red, for him to copy.
Shape Creations
Cut out squares, circles, triangles, and rectangles in different sizes and colors from
construction paper.
Invite your child to see what she can create by gluing shapes onto a large piece
of paper.
Ask your child to describe her creation. Write what she says on the paper. Ask
her to tell you the name of each shape she used.
