Happy Pelting Drib Math

We've been talking close weather condition a lot lately because the temperatures direct maintain been swinging from beingness mutual frigidity (cold for California... 40s :)) to warmer Spring temperatures (80s+). Since nosotros are basically living inwards our auto these days in addition to roaming from commons to commons starting at 8am spell our identify gets worked on... it is form of critical to know a fleck close the weather condition in addition to how to dress.

My toddler has too been interested inwards pelting in addition to pelting clouds, thus I decided to accept that involvement in addition to role it to deal us run on our numbers. We created some uncomplicated Rain Drop Math activities using materials nosotros had roughly the house. 

Supplies: White in addition to blueish foam, scissors, Melissa & Doug Alphabet in addition to Numbers Stickers, paper, in addition to pen.

I started off this activity past times cutting clouds out of white foam in addition to 10 blueish raindrops from the blueish foam. I made alone 2 clouds because nosotros used stickers that could easily last removed in addition to added... thus nosotros didn't involve a whole gear upwardly of 10. 

Next nosotros chose a sticker from the pose out sticker majority (0-10) in addition to added it to the pump of the pelting cloud.

Once the sticker was on the cloud, my toddler tried to count out that same pose out of foam pelting drops in addition to pose them underneath the cloud. 

We too drew the pose out of raindrops on a slice of paper, thus if she couldn't brand pelting drops for a certainly number, she could role the raindrop slice of newspaper to deal her. She would simply comprehend the randrops on the newspaper amongst her blueish foam raindrops in addition to and thus deal count them upwardly in addition to brand certainly she had the right amount!

For my v twelvemonth one-time nosotros pose a pose out on each cloud in addition to had him add together the 2 numbers together. Once he did the add-on work correctly he got to add together the right pose out of raindrops underneath the pelting cloud.

The hands-on component of this activity that got the kids counting amongst their fingers in addition to touching things actually kept them engaged in addition to having a expert time!

Although counting anything correctly past times #3 was difficult for my toddler, it was bang-up to give her exposure to numbers in addition to scout inwards activeness equally the numbers were used inwards realtime.
