1-2-3 and a bite for me!
Playing with your food is fine as long as you are learning, isn’t it? Your child will boost his or her math skills with this hands-on activity that promotes sorting, counting, and patterns. Counting with one-to-one correspondence is an important skill to practice and helping your child to engage with the language of math with a favorite snack is a sure way to sharpen this knowledge. Be sure to have your child describe the shapes, numbers, textures, and tastes for extra practicing new vocabulary and improving literacy skills.
