296 Red, Blue, and Yellow, Too! Get three shoeboxes and cover each with either red, blue or yellow construction paper. Collect some small items around your house that are red, blue, or yellow. Examples might be crayons, markers, an apple, a banana, wash cloths, socks, small toy cars or figures, drinking cups, or plastic silverware. Invite your child to put the objects in the box of the same color. Find other things around the house that are red, blue, and yellow, too! Look at pictures in a book such as Shapes, Shapes, Shapes by Tana Hoban to show the children different objects with different shapes. Similar to the Enough is Enough activity, mealtimes are great times to introduce early math concepts. Have your child give a napkin to everyone at the table and tell you whether there are “enough” for everyone or does he need “more?” Do the same with silverware and food items. Let your child help load the dishwasher by sorting the silverware. Put all the forks together in one section, the small spoons in another, and the cooking spoons in another. Introduce concepts about time by describing when things will happen. For example, • “Grandpa is coming over after you take a nap.” • “We will have lunch after we come in from playing outside.” • “Remember to wash your hands before you sit down for lunch.” • “Let’s read a story before you go to bed.” • “The timer on the oven just rang to tell us it is time to take the cookies out of the oven now.” Introduce measurement concepts by letting your child play with measuring cups and spoons in water and sand. Also, let your child help you cook as you follow a recipe. Introduce counting throughout the day as you count the number of chairs at the kitchen table, tires on the car, red cars in the parking lot, and children in line for the slide at the park. Give your child opportunities to experiment and create with different shaped objects such as blocks, construction paper, and cookie cutters. Ask your child to help solve simple problems such as: “We only have one piece of paper and you and your sister both want to draw a picture. What can we do?” Find books about shapes and counting such as Circles and Squares Everywhere by Max Grover, Anno’s Counting Book by Mitsumasa Anno, and Ten Black Dots by Donald Crews.
