Materials
Blue playdough
Numeral cards 1-10
Muffin template
Directions
Invite your child to roll small balls out of playdough to make blueberries. This is a nice follow up after reading, Blueberries for Sal by Robert McCloskey. If you have a small pail, encourage your child to drop them into the pail. Once he has made 10 or more blueberries, place numeral cards facedown on the table. Invite your child to turn over a card and identify the numeral. He then places that many blueberries onto the muffin template. Continue practicing identifying the numerals.
Lesson Extension
Encourage your child to place numerals in numerical order.
