This week’s topic is MATH. Let’s practice how to count with this fun spring activity.

You’ll need:

  • Green and yellow construction paper
  • Scissors
  • Playdough
  • Markers

Instructions

  1. Cut out the stem for a flower and the pistil (middle part of a flower).
  2. Choose a number a write it on the pistil.
  3. Ask your child to use playdough to create the requested number of petals to place around the pistil.
  4. You can change the number and try again!

Counting can be fun when interactive learning is involved! This activity gives your child a chance to practice counting, use creativity, but also learn some tactile and manipulative skills with the playdough.
