I love using this on a weekly basis in math. It's a lesson that has legs and can be made into so many different lessons! Kids love the fact that they get to eat the product after their hard work! Simply buy a bag of skittles, m&m's, colorful fishy crackers or whatever kind of food you would like to use that allows for a variety of colors Draw columns on a paper with the suggested color to be sorted along the bottom {I was in a hurry and used markers}. Encourage the child to sort the colors. For added math lessons:
- Counting
- Sorting
- Color recognition
- Concepts of least and most
- Create groups to work on addition or subtraction
- Create patterns
- Complete patterns
- Heaviest and lightest {a food scale is great for these activities}
- Estimation
The possibilities are endless really!
