Frosty’s Buttons! (1-10)

thebuildingblocksabcLeave a comment

A fun winter counting game that also strengthens fine motor skills as children pick up and move buttons or pom poms to the snowman.

Pick a hat and match the number of buttons to the number on the hat!

Laminate to help the items last longer.

Halloween Math Clip Cards

These clip cards are made with adhesive stickers that I purchased from the Dollar General (bag of 40 of $1), card stock, clothespins and you can use adhesive numbers or draw them on with marker.  I did one card with marker and one card with cardstock numbers and lines.

When attaching the sticker to the clothespin; just remove a strip of paper wide enough for the clothespin.

Tissue Paper Sun Catchers!

Materials Needed:

Tissue paper (Dollar Tree is great for this!) Get solid colors and get some with specks of glitter to add some sparkle!

Clear Contact Paper- you can find this at Wal-mart or Target or craft stores.

Cookie Cutters (optional)

Scissors

 

Preparation:

First, you need to cut your  tissue paper into strips, then cut the strips into pieces.

Next you will need two pieces of contact paper (the same size).

After peeling the back off from one sheet; you can tape it to the table to keep it secure while your child adds his/her tissue pieces. Cover a certain area of the sheet with your tissue paper and then take the back of from contact paper #2. Lay on top of the tissue paper; carefully trying to make as smooth as possible. Removing a small portion of the back at a time works best.

Using your cookie cutter; outline your shape and cut out the shape of your sun catcher.
