Number learning jelly fish

We are working on numbers and counting, so I traced the body of a jelly fish to have J cut them out, then glue the pieces together. Nice cause we are working on fine motor skills and then counting when we place the pom poms on. Fun and easy project for the kids to do.

After we are done we hang it up on the wall and J just thinks thats the coolest thing.

Materials:
paper
glue
scissors
pom pom......or whatever you would like to use to count(buttons, beans, etc)
eyes

DIY...alphabet sounds teaching tubs

I saw these tubs at Lakeshore learning and thought it was a great idea for learning with the kids, but was not going to pay $149. for them.

So I made them myself.  There are 10 containers for $9.95 at Lakeshore and then I had a coupon buy one get one half so I made the alphabet set for less than $30.

Thanks to kadenscorner.com for the free printable. Then I placed them on the front of the containers. Got things around the house and filled the containers.

After I printed the letters off I used packing tape to stick them to the containers. Each container has house hold items in them along with a magnet letter.

We would watch the Leap Frog letter movie and pull out these containers and play a game. My son loved this.

Make your own Alphabet matching game

                       ABC learning game

My preschooler is all into playing games. When we were in Home Depot the other day I picked up the Mickey Mouse shaped paint samples and we turned it into a game.

Picked up 52 of them you need at least 2 colors of each, I used a couple of the colors twice. Then I use the ABC stickers I have on hand from scrap booking. I also laminated mine so they will last longer. You can use clear laminate.

Materials:
Paint samples
Alphabet stickers
Clear laminate

J helping cut the cards out of the laminate
