Playtime

Sometimes it’s all about the simplest things. Whenever we’re struggling, it’s great to go back to basics. So in an effort to keep it super simple, here are some easy ideas that kids love. Most of all, they will appreciate spending a little time together 💙

At mealtime or snacktime, create math stories with your child: “Imagine you’re a hungry bear and these crackers look yummy.” Count them together and invite them to choose a number of crackers to eat. Then ask: “How many crackers did you eat? How many crackers are left?”

Having fun with math helps your child love to learn, while becoming familiar with counting, numbers, and what they stand for. They’re also learning to pay attention, to hold numbers in their mind as they use this information, and to use self-control not to eat everything all at once!
