Materials:
Large piece of white paper
Paper cup
Black marker
Small stickers (optional)
Fly swatter
Oversized foam die
Directions: Draw the numbers 1 through 6 randomly on the paper using the black marker. Make the numbers about 3 inches high. Use the paper cup to trace a circle around each number. Place the correct number of stickers on the circle outline for each number so your child can count them if she’s having trouble identifying the numbers.
Show your child how to drop the die between her legs (while sitting on the floor). Have her count how many dots are showing on the top of the die. Look for that number symbol on the sheet. When she finds it, let her swat it with the fly swatter. We try to swat the number the right number of times—i.e., if her number is 3, she swats it three times!
