Snowman Colors

Need a COOL way to practice COLORS? Check out these amazing Snowman Color cards! I love the bright colors!

Grab pom-poms, a pair of tongs, and this FREE printable and start the learning I mean FUN!

Your little will work on fine motor skills and grip strength as they pinch the tongs and carry the pom-pom to the cards. Place the pom-poms on the snowflakes and talk about color matching, sorting, visual discrimination, and counting!

You can use the entire rainbow of colors, or just one or two colors at a time. You can even have your child place colored blocks, beads, or stickers on the snowflakes!

My daughter still calls this color “lell-low” and there is something so endearing about it that I hope no one ever corrects her!

Pull out the colors your child struggles with and focus on those cards. This is a fun way to seek and find the colors in the pile of pom-poms.

Make it a little “competition” which snowman card will fill up first?!

And check out those 2 different shades of green pom-poms! This is a great time to talk about color variations!

Such a simple activity that has tons of benefits! I cannot wait to hear how you use it!

Number Rockets

Leave a comment

Want to give your kiddo a leg up before Kindergarten? Or refocus your 1st and 2nd grader before school gets back in session? These number rockets are just the tool to help you!

🚀  5, 4, 3, 2, 1…. BLASTOFF!!! 🚀 

I love this #SpaceWeek activity because it is so versatile! Each rocket is comprised of three sections – the top is a domino counting piece, the middle is a numerical digit, and the bottom is a ten-frame.

I had no idea how prevalent ten-frames were in current curriculum trends until my kiddo went to Kindergarten. They started with ten-frames almost immediately and continued to use them throughout the year. I love that this activity can reinforce digit recognition, counting, grouping, and more!

Grab the FREE printable HERE and you will be all set to launch!

I printed mine out in three colors to make the activity extra colorful. You will need 1 sheet of paper for the top of the rocket, 2 sheets of paper for the middle of the rockets, and 2 sheets of paper for the bottom of the rockets. That’s 5 sheets of paper total if you are still trying to do the math ðŸĪŠ

This printable covers numbers 1-10 and is a great reinforcement for kiddos learning to count, group, and work with numbers in various forms.

The bottom of the rockets are a bit tedious to cut out, but look how amazing they look when finished! You could totally laminate the sheets of paper before cutting to give some prolonged durability.
