Over the past few weeks, I have become obsessed (like many people & bloggers) with Pinterest – thanks to my friend, Bethany. You can find my Pinterest boards here. Pinterest is a great way to organize thoughts, recipes, crafts, & room decor. I’ve also begun planning Jack’s 1st birthday (yes, I know) and made a few of the recipes and crafts on there.
With the heat wave here in Chicago, I checked out Pinterest for a fresh new idea for Charlie for the indoors and came up with this. Here are some photos of our version, practicing counting:
we do something similiar for money counting as well..in the bottom of each compartment I’ll write 51 cents or 65 cents or 99 cents…and then Parker will have to use all of the change available to put the proper amount in there. Another thing is to color the bottom of each compartment with a primary color, and then sort objects accordingly (such as those small plastic manipulative bears…or crayon pieces)… It’s fun and a great way to recycle!
