From the little preschool curriculum, I strung monkey's on a line and labeled them 1-10. It was a big hit with David... Emily too for that matter. I alternated colors (red/blue) and would have him hang all the even numbers, and then the odd ones. I would take a monkey down and then have him put it in the right spot... Unfortunately, the monkeys took kind of a long time to cut out and I made them with construction paper so they got torn pretty quickly.
So our new and improved game is called Christmas Lights and I made them out of heavier paper. It was a hit. David knows 1-10 pretty well... so you can see him lining up 11-20 here. I'm thinking we could use this concept for Counting by 10s, Days of the Week, Months of the Year, the Alphabet....
Love this idea, Michelle!
