Today I made him these 10 elephants out of fabric and quilt batting scraps. How convenient that there are 10! They will be great for counting too. (They were very quick and easy to make: batting in between fabric, zig zag stitch and then cut out.)
We also made up a game where the boys put the elephants in to their houses (envelopes) by matching colors. Once Ray gets good at this I plan to hide the elephants to add some extra fun.
These were featured!
Rays asks me to draw elephants at least 100 times a day. Sometimes he likes to color them.
And Ray found this
book at the library. That kid has a super power of spotting elephants!

Good thing we have such a cute baby elephant at our zoo!
Share your ideas and get great ideas at Tot School!
Great Activity. You could also make elephant houses with numbers on it instead of colors. I like your idea of using envelopes as houses I may have to do that sometime. : )
ReplyDeleteMy daughter LOVED watching the elephant video. :)
