Early Learning Part 5- Test Drive Your Cars

  Numeral Race Car Track    Cars and trains are little boys' best friends! I am fascinated with these colourful miniature trains and cars as it promote not only imagination but also open up countless creative avenues for play-based learning. So this week we had a little fun creating our Number Race Tracks. Here's how you get your number track printed.   Print out the numbers onto A4 size sheets or card stocks.   I created my number tracks using "WordArt"(Ariel Black) as a Word Document and got them printed. Use a Silver Sharpie to create your track lines.  (Have your tracks laminated for durability, and also you can cut out the numerals if desired) To start with, I inserted the number sheets into display pockets and used glue-tact to just keep the sheet in place. Hopefully, you can have your kids take their cars for a test drive on their Number Track! Yeah, my son had fun taking all his cars and buses for a test drive, but

What I love about play dough is that there is no age barrier to join in the creativity.  I happened to discover this fabulous activity using play dough . Great sensory way for learning numbers and this activity promotes fine motor skills . yeah , I have made my older kids make numbers ,letters, spell their  names out of play dough.Now it's the little one's turn, we are back to basics.   Getting the dough into a long sausage shape and trying to trace the numeral   is  challenging for my toddler  right now ,therefore i made him little play dough balls and have him press it on the numeral template.
