This month blog posts target the numbe part of kindergarten readiness. The best way to help your kidlets with math readiness for kindergarten is to play and explore with numbers and use them in all kinds of ways.
What are some ways that you and your child can make 2? 2 blocks, 2 stories, 2 cars, 2 hands, 2 feet, 2 eyes, 2 ears, 2 arms, 2 hugs, 2 legs, 2 steps, 2 songs. Shoes come in twos. Pants have 2 legs, sweaters have 2 arms. Egg cartons have 2 rows and are very easy for counting by 2: 2,4,6, etc. Play some games that need 2 people, such as London Bridge. Think of some foods that need 2 ingredients: peanut butter and jam, macaroni and cheese, toast and butter, pancakes and syrup. Maybe the 2 of you could read 2 books, do 2 chores, find 2 things that are misplaced, do 2 exercises, eat 2 cookies. A great 2 book is Jacob Two-Two (and the Hooded Fang). A song to sing is A Bicycle built for 2. Use any deck of cards to make pairs and play Go Fish.
Will you join me for Tea for 2?
