One to one correspondence. Early counting. We have been using these little Counting Leaves in our Sensory Kits since September but had some colored gemstones out today for another project and decided to do some one-to-one correspondence.

I made it to Grandma’s house this week to get inventory under control and while we were hanging out [playing] in the new stock room the kids were pulling out products from their bins and playing.

This is such a simple task….especially for a 3 year old! But I love the idea of hearing her count the hearts as the plunk into the tub. I also like watching her as she unscrews the lid to dump them all out and start over again. This would be a great fine motor skill […]
