Halloween Math Mats

Today's game is very similar to the activity I mentioned back in February. The only difference is the shape used :)

First C dropped 5 black pom poms onto a pumpkin shape. She counted how many landed on and off the pumpkin. I recorded the numbers since she is very interested in math facts (and dressing like a ballerina).

 We did other combinations as well

 Then she made some faces

 Then I switched the picture to a spider web. Here she was counting how many small and big "spiders" were on the web.

Then she rolled a number die and put that many "spiders" on the web.

Handprint Cards

I love hand print crafts. And my toddler loves her to have her hands painted :)
So I take advantage of this to make homemade greeting cards for family members. 

Here are a few from the past few months.

  Hand print birthday cakes

Footprint ghost & palm print pumpkin cards

Hand print turkey cards

 Hand print Santa card

For Easter this year we made cards using the idea I found at Moments of Mommyhood
I put paint on her finger to make the nose and eyes. C made the smiles all by herself.

 And I made 2 of these cards for C's Grandma and Great Grandma who have birthdays next week.
It is incredibly hard to paint a 4 week old's hand :)
