Full disclosure? I am pretty sure I confused the heck out of my preschoolers by saying N is for numbers, especially considering they are still trying to grasp the difference between a number and a letter and then I throw out there that N is actually a letter that the word numbers starts with! I got some bewildered looks. But I digress! Today we talked about the letter N being for Numbers.
It was all inspired by the book Chika-chika 1-2-3. The kids LOVE Chika-chika A-B-C, so I figured they would enjoy the 1-2-3 version just as much and I was right! We also read a couple other books related to numbers: On the Launch Pad: A Counting Book About Rockets, and Counting Animals on the Farm.
Our project looked like this:
I used blue card stock, number stickers and shiny green cupcake tin liners. I drew a tree trunk up real quick and threw in a few pompoms as well. I set the book out for inspiration and watched their creativity take over. I just love a good sit back and watch the chaos creativity unfold. Their projects usually turn out better than I could have imagined. My preschoolers never disappoint when it comes to imagination!
I just love how they all turned out so different and very much reflective of their personalities.
