Little Man is now interested in numbers. Sometimes he even gets them in order, ha ha. I guess that means it's time to find fun ways to reinforce the numbers and let him practice counting.
This is a pretty basic craft: Paper plates, markers, fishing line, hole punch, tape and fish. I found a pack of foam fish complete with sticker stripes and spots at Hobby Lobby. They were not my favorite part. Decorating them was a pain. Previously, the little guy and I spent some time decorating them for fun and he didn't really dig it either. But I had them, so I used them.
The fish have been a hit so I decided to expand on our numbers exposure. This is also super simple (my kind of craft!) A printer, bag of buttons, and glue stick are all you need. These are posted on either side of our hallway door frame.
We have letters in the hallway, on the refrigerator and in alphabet books, but until recently I hadn't put much effort into numbers. Somehow the little sponge is picking them up anyway. Here's to reading and counting cars!
I plan to do more but we are in the middle of a move and we have a newborn. So yeah, maybe in a month or two. :)
