Happy Splat! A Disappearing Discover Game For Kids

Each calendar month nosotros host Virtual Book Club for Kids in addition to spotlight a novel author. This calendar month nosotros are featuring books yesteryear Leo Lionni.

We dearest finding an chance to discovery a novel book, thus this calendar month nosotros selected Leo Lionni's book
Colors, Numbers, Letters (3 Books inwards 1) to read. The majority is a novel i for us in addition to perfect for babies in addition to toddlers. My five-year-old fifty-fifty enjoyed "reading" it. Colors, Numbers, Letters is a wordless motion-picture exhibit majority that is total of cute illustrations spell instruction almost elementary early-learning concepts.

Wordless motion-picture exhibit books are amazing because they give kids an chance to purpose their imaginations to aid say the story. I dearest listening to the words my immature lady puts together to create her ain stories. I also tend to purpose linguistic communication that is to a greater extent than developmentally appropriate when nosotros facial expression at wordless books in addition to I purpose improve descriptions when I am "reading"... thus overall, the linguistic communication my kids hear is much richer!

When nosotros discussed the book, my boy said nosotros needed to create a related activeness alongside colors in addition to numbers.

At commencement I catch nosotros actually should travail in addition to come upwards up alongside a mice themed activeness since the characters inwards the majority were mice... but since I similar to allow my kids accept the atomic number 82 inwards creating activities in addition to allow their interests to dictate what nosotros do... our activeness ended upwards existence a fiddling unlike than I expected!

The kids in addition to I invented our ain game called Splat! Splat is a fun agency to play alongside colors,  numbers, in addition to water!

Supplies: chalk, puddle noodles (or other small-scale items), surface to write on, cups, in addition to water.

Directions:

This game evolved equally nosotros played, but the basic finish of the game was to tally the right discover of puddle noodle pieces to the chalk numbers on the ground.

The kids worked together equally a squad to collect the right discover of puddle noodles in addition to position them adjacent to the matching number. The noodles also had to represent alongside the right color (green noodles alongside light-green chalk numbers, ruby-red noodles alongside ruby-red chalk numbers). My toddler is but learning her numbers, thus nosotros solely focused on numbers 1-4. My five-year-old helped her read the numbers in addition to worked alongside her to count... in addition to recount the puddle noodles to brand certain in that place were enough.

I liked how nosotros solely used 2 colors in addition to iv numbers because that was the perfect amount for my toddler. Any to a greater extent than would own got been overwhelming.

Once the puddle noodle pieces were matched to the chalk numbers, the kids yelled SPLAT! in addition to and thus they threw H2O at the discover to acquire inwards disappear. Sometimes that also involved rubbing the chalk discover alongside their hands too.

After they doused i number, they refilled their cups using our fiddling puddle (this was a bang-up balancing activity... facial expression at the concentration equally they walk across the lawn).

Then they would start all over again!

It made me thus happy to reckon the kids taking turns in addition to working together in addition to helping each other. I emphasized that it was a squad edifice activeness in addition to it was thus cool to reckon how seriously they took that in addition to how good they cooperated.

Using H2O to acquire is a favorite activeness some here, thus I'm certain you'll reckon a few to a greater extent than early on learning H2O activities adjacent month. Do you lot own got a favorite H2O learning activeness that you've tried?
