Counting with Pom Pons

New Kid is just about the age Kiddo was when I started this blog. This is significant because it means you will probably be seeing more preschooling ideas around here. Well... maybe. I make no promises.

Case in point: sorting and counting.

I turned the very useful egg carton into a pom pon sorter, counting up to 5. New Kid is not the numbers genius that his brother is, so we started small.

We have gotten a lot of mileage out of pom pons around here. We've picked them up with tongs, catapulted them across the room, pushed them through slots, stuck them on sticky paper, shaken them with paint and had a free-for-all with toilet paper rolls.

What have you done with poms lately? We're always up for new ideas. We do have a pound of them.
This is part of the After School Blog Hop. I've also linked to Link & Learn, and Show & Share Saturday.

  1. I need to do this with Lily soon. Once she starts recognizing numbers. She can count to fourteen, but doesn't have a clue what the symbols stand for!

    And now you have me wanting a pound of pom poms (and I can hear Mike groan in despair at the thought of MORE craft supplies...)

  5. Great idea. My second wasn't as into numbers as my first either.

  6. We've been on a muffin tin kick for sorting and counting - I should bring out the good ol egg cartons for something different!
