Project 5: Putting Things in Order
Magnetic numbers or letters
Cookie sheet
Put the magnetic numbers or letters on a cookie sheet. Your child’s job
is to put the numbers or letters in the right order. For young children, start
by using only the numbers one through six and later add more.
Project 6: Money in the Bank
(Note: If your child might put small objects in his mouth, use poker chips
instead of the coins and a large yogurt container with a slit in its lid.)
Coins
Container (for example, clean, empty margarine tub)
with slit cut in
the lid
Fill a saucer with coins and place that on a tray next to the container
with a slit on the top. Your child’s job is to put all the coins in the slot.
Project 7: Hammering
Block of Styrofoam (such as the ones that
come in boxes for shipping
computers)
Small hammer (tack hammers work well)
Nails or golf tees
Put the block of Styrofoam, a
saucer of nails or golf tees, and a small
hammer on a tray, and you’ve got an activity young children love: ham-
mering all the tees or nails into the Styrofoam.
