STEM Bath time

We had a set of sprays and plastic test tubes that I filled with different coloured soaps. My son arranged the foam numbers in order and they had to spray the numbers.

My two year old is starting to recognise numbers. My five year old had to spray them number of times on each balloon adding them together.

They mixed potions..

Magnetic objects play

My son loves the magnets on the fridge and he constantly takes them off. So I got the magnetic whiteboard and the magnetic objects tub and left him to it.

The tub is s mixture of letters , numbers , book magnets and leapfrog magnets.

He enjoyed matching up the vehicles and animals and setting up a digger scene .

Tadpole fishing

In continuation of our tadpole theme we adapted the fishing game my son came up with to tadpoles instead of fish. 

He made a fishing rod and I then made a pond with blue card and added numbers to the Molly mods. 

We tried adding magnets to them but they were too heavy for the magnets we had.

He hooked them on and then we used them for number identification of double digits and sums.

We also sequenced them by number and colour. 

We also started making shapes with them ( triangle, square, rectangle, diamond, pentagon, hexagon)

I'm sure there are many other activities we could do.

Indoor bean bag game

There are twelve plates that have numbers upto 12 on.

First we sequenced them and then we tossed on a said number then they jumped , hopped or stepped on them.

Quick indoor activity on a rainy day.

Number archery

We got the foam numbers out, dipped in water and stuck them on the window. 

The aim was to hit the desired number

using the bow and arrow.

We then started adding the scores and recording on the chalk board.

They then made double numbers and had to recognise the numbers.

My 2 year old used bean bags as he had difficulty with the bow and arrow.

A-Z Science: Transformation

The first transformation we are looking at is tadpoles into frogs.

We are doing a series of activities learning about their transformation .  Mainly observing and recreating them at each stage .

Check out our tadpole activities that we have done so far.

Another idea would be to look st the transformation of a caterpillar to a butterfly.

Dragon puppet neighbourhood watch

The puppet dragons were taken out for a Tour of the neighbourhood.

We took a squirting water bottle to pretend it was fire. They had to squirt letters, numbers, shapes and objects.

Dylan even spotted 3D shapes like a cone and cylinder .

Then a role play with a knight on a 'castle' .

The boys loved this and didn't want to go on for dinner .
