Learning numbers and values for toddlers

 What you need:

1. Foam sheets ($1 dollar tree)
2. glass beads ($1 dollar tree)
3. sharpie /marker (available for $1)
4. Basket ($1 Dollar Tree)

 What you Do:

1. Write the number and number word on the foam cards 
2. Draw circles for the amount coinciding with the number (draw circles to coincide with dice or with Montessori by having 5 in a row, down 5 on left side)

Store in a container for beads and basket to hold the set. This teaches the sequencing of the card numbers and learning the amount per number. Learning the number word, the number symbol, and the amount that equates to those words and symbols.

Fine Motor Skills Manipulative

 A basket of popsicle sticks. Baskets at Dollar Tree $1.

 To be put in a jar with a Parmesean container lid (which fits most jars, but not all perfectly, doesn't have to be)

 Get the sticks in the wide mouth or the three hole slots, the popsicles fit in both sides.

 Afterwards try to organize the colors of the popsicle sticks (at dollar tree $1) before you put them in.

This was later used as a musical instrument, one of their favorite sounds.

Make a Book from your Nature Outing

 Go to a forest or the park and take pictures of insects, flowers, trees, the sun, water, etc.

 Make a spiral bound notebook from Walgreens for under $10 here.

 Add captions to your pictures at the level for your child, I used captions like "purple flower", "tree bark", "ants".  I used all lowercase letters.

 The photobook has three shipping options ranging from $1.99 to $10.99.

Make sure you have a title for your cover page. I used, "What Do You See?" The title must be under 27 characters.

You can make the book longer or shorter and use it on several trips. The price is cheaper than museum trips for a day and you have a book you can keep. This is a real life application way of teaching that can develop language and an interest in spelling and writing.  Children getting to see themselves in a book is always exciting.
