Watering Whole @Home Curriculum Week 2
Here is a simple craft activity that links in beautifully with our concept focus (the colour red), and our Nature focus (bugs) and can be used for a fun counting activity too. For this activity, you will need ten ladybirds made out of an egg carton. Invite your child to paint the egg carton red like a ladybird and when it is dry cut out your lady birds and stick on/draw googly eyes. You will then draw one black spot on the first one, two spots on the next one, three spots on the next one, and continue this pattern up to the number 10.  The goal of the activity is for your child to count the ladybug spots and then put the ladybugs in sequential order from 1-10.  Additional ideas: You can also put the corresponding number inside of each egg carton for your child to check their counting. You can also give the child dried beans to count out and put the correct number in each egg cup.   |
