Happy Halloween!! Hope everyone stayed warm and enjoyed the fun!
Here are some ways you can use your child's candy to help them learn:
1.Have them sort it. Sort it lots of different ways: by color, by size, by brand of candy or by type, see what ideas they have.
2. Make an AB pattern with the candy: snickers, twizlers, snickers twizlers etc.
3. Count it! Count each type of candy, count all of it together, work on those teen numbers :)
4. More than/less than: take a pile of M&Ms and a pile of lollipops, which has more? Have them guess and then count to find out which really did have more or less.
5. Make equal groups: make a group of say 6 Twix, then have them make an equally sized group of another type of candy. Equal groups have to have the same quantity but not be identical.
6. Look for letters A, B, C, D, E, F. Names are usually in bold letters on wrappers, perfect for beginning readers. They can see which letter they find the most of, or sort by beginning letter.
7. Make a tasting chart. Make three columns: I wouldn't try it, I tried it, and didn't like it, I liked it a little, I loved it! You could even draw faces with each one so they can remember as they go back to try more. They can glue the wrapper or part of it, on each column.
Have a great weekend with your little ones!
