Luke and I had fun today making a snowman scene while working on mathematics. I saw this idea in the Mailbox Magazine for Teachers. It is a simple, fun activity that any preschooler would love! All you need is a sheet of white paper with the number 1-12 (or 10, whatever you are working on) written along the bottom, flashcards corresponding to the numbers on the bottom of the paper and Bingo Dot Markers (found at the Dollar store).
Luke drew a flashcard out of the stack and practiced sounding out the number word as best he could. I obviously had to help him on most of them since they are phonetically ridiculous. haha! After he figured out the correct number, he found it at the bottom of his page and put that many dots above the number to build his snowman. Do this until you are done with every flashcard.
Then simply add some details to your snowmen with markers.
Now they are one big, happy snowman family!
Happy Crafting!!

What a great idea! Definitely need to make one of these with my 3 year old... he is very much a visual learner. Thanks!

Everything you make is so pin worthy. I love those bingo card stampers, so I can imagine any kid would be going to town with it.

Newest follower! PINNING THIS!!! So simple yet SO FUN! You could also mix up the numbers and then talk about tallest/shortest etc (I'm a speech pathologist...always looking at targeting concepts! HA!) This would be awesome for my new linky party, Thrifty Thursday. I'd love for you to come by! http://www.playingwithwords365.com/2011/11/thrifty-thursday-linky-party-1/
Thanks for adding that you can find the bingo markers at the dollar store. I see so many people making cute things with them and wondered where to find them!
