Counting Flowers and Beads

Instructions:

1. Find the materials in your box (numbered flowers, beads

2. Insert the amount of beads similar to the number in the flower

3. Color in the back the same number of dots matching the number on the front and the beads

4. After your child is done with the activity, let your child explore making bracelets if he/she wants.

InterACTions:

• Hmm,do you notice anything different about these flowers? (you may explore numbers and colors)

• Do you think you can add beads to match the number on the front of the flower

• Can we represent the same number in the back?

• Is it possible to make a pattern with the beads? How would you do it?

• Would you like to show me a different pattern now?
