I got these cute ideas from
this site. Caden loves to do things with his hands so I just went on a search for some hands on activities. Of course he loves doing crafts but he also likes pouring things and making things. So I figured this would be perfect. He did enjoy the activity so I am looking forward to more. Oh, and boy did I find more when me and my good friend
Elsie (check out her blog) went to the Homeschool Convention and found these great hands on
science activity books for PreK-2nd grade. Check out their site and see a sample activity. You will love it!
Sand (Desert Habitat)
Grass (forest or meadow habitat)
Water (water habitat)
Sorting the animals in the correct habitat.
Hannah loved eating the ducks!
To Which Habitat Do I Belong?- We collected 3 plastic containers and filled one with grass, one with water, and one with sand. I explained to Caden that every animal has it's own habitat (place in nature where an animal normally lives). The grass is for animals that live in forests and meadows, the sand is for animals that live in the desert, and the water for animals that live in water. So we pulled out each animal one by one and placed it in their correct habitat.
Counting legs-I printed out the number cards provided by The Itty-Bitty Bookworm. I had a basket with different animals. I had Caden pull out the animal and we counted their legs and had him figure out what number card matched the amount of legs the animal or insect had. It was so cute to see him count...1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, etc. He used to skip 3, now he says 3 but forgets 4...so cute!
