This was a super easy activity I set up with my daughter. We did it with letters of the alphabet and with numbers.
By using numbers, it could easily be set up to talk about money as well.
To set up the activity, simply choose some items from the pantry and lay them out with a post it note labelling each a different letter or number.
Then, on a wall or closet, put sticky notes with the matching numbers or letters.
At random, have your child get a number/letter you call out. I quickly learned that my daughter had no problems finding the numbers, but the letter E was a bit trickier for her (so we are working on that one!)
This game was easy to set up and helps learn identification of numbers, letters and matching!
My nephew is only 22-months old, but I think we could do something similar with colours and shapes. He seems to be getting that colours and shapes have names that don’t change: two squares are both called square, a circle is always called circle and never called square; it’s a new concept for him.
