pack of primary colored buttons less than 2 i got from a craft store we ve been working on a few math skills all of these activities are great to introduce to as young as pretoddlers provided they will at least watch you activity 1 counting our number of the week was 9 so we counted out buttons in piles of 9 count out loud and move the buttons as you count when counting it is important for young children to move objects to avoid confusion and what i call counting in circles counting the same items over and over if you do this activity and 2 on the same day do this one first otherwise young children may have a hard time transitioning and may want to continue sorting by color if you do 2 first and then try activity 1 activity 2 sorting by color start the piles for young children depending on the age or skill level you may need to go button by button with them you may also need to only give them a few colors at a time as more may be overwhelming my 2 5 year old was able to handle 5 color sorting with no problem if your buttons have different shapes you can also sort by shapes or other attributes activity 3 patterns patterns can be pretty difficult keep in mind that in virginia this is a kindergarten standard of learning which means 4 5 or 6 year olds it s a great introduction but don t get frustrated if they don t see the patterns right away be patient start with ab patterns if just introducing them or if working with young children i started with 2 different objects buttons and clothespins i started the pattern ababababa ___ and asked my toddler if she could tell what would come next verbalize the pattern by saying clothespin button clothespin button clothespin what do you think is next then we moved to colors i then let her have free play with them where she ended up stacking them and making pictures out of them i didn t even think of that posted by raegan at 12 00 am email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels child colors math patterns pre toddler preschooler sorting toddler 1 comment kristy powers said this is a wonderful activity my son has a box of busy bugs that are six types of bugs six of each color and he does these activities with them they re cute and fun but how great that buttons work just as well i find that my 3 5 year old has a hard time with patterns unless i say them out loud in a rhythm then he can say what comes next i wasn t sure if that counts as learning patterns or not december 16 2009 at 4 31 am post a comment newer post older post home subscribe to post comments atom linkwithin
