I posted this activity last year but since I really like this game, as did C, I thought I would repost it.
All you need is a heart glued onto a piece of paper and some pom poms (or cotton balls, or any other small object)
C stood above the heart and dropped 3 pom poms. She then counted how many landed on the heart and how many landed off of the heart. We even counted how many landed on the carpet when that happened. It is a great beginning math skill game! You can make it as easy or hard as you want. Plus, it can easily be used for any day use by using different shapes.

ReplyDelete:) Thanks
ReplyDeleteSimple and fun. My son loves any activity with pom poms and throwing/dropping them. Thanks for this idea!
ReplyDeleteThat is adorable. Love this idea. I can see it being used in the Fall with a big leaf and acorns. Or right now in the winter white cotton balls could be used as snowball to be thrown at a snowman! So many different versions.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing.
Great activity. We'll have to give it a try this week.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a great way to learn counting!
