More Castle Fun - Shapes and Numbers

 We continued to work with our Princess and Knight theme.
Nevaeh did worksheets found on Homeschool Creations.
She worked on the Knight Preschool Packet.

She worked on her fine motor and reading readiness skills by

tracing the wavy line from right to left.

She played concentration with the Knight vocabulary cards.

We played Go Fish and learned new vocabulary words like moat, bow & arrow and shield.

She was quite pleased with herself for getting so many matches.

We pulled at the Castle Board  and she retold the story
of St. George and the Dragon. (Consultant Katrina M)

She told about how scared the villagers were when the Dragon blew fire.

I was impressed that she remembered so much of the story.

She liked that this time she got to place the pieces on the board.

Next we went into the kitchen to make some Kool Aid Playdough.

We choose to make Blue Berry Playdough.

I would suggest if you want a deeper blue and a stronger scent that you use two packages of Kool Aid.

Nevaeh used the playdough to make shapes.

Nevaeh loves to work with shapes

Here she is working with a shape puzzle by Doug and Melissa

She likes that it tells you what the shape's name is.

Her favorite is trapezoid. 

She used her Reader Rabbit Toddler Game to learn about shapes too.

The game tells you the color and the shape you are dragging into place.

She gets very excited when she finishes the puzzle and the shapes become a picture.

We worked on number recognition and counting with
the Deluxe Toy Counter Set.

This is one of my favorite sets because it has so many different math activities that you can do and I
even use the toy pieces to work on reading readiness skills (I'll show that example later)

For some reason Nevaeh recognizes the numbers 1, 2 and 8.

I think that might be due to here playing her Blue's Clue's Preschool Game.

In this game a character walks up and ask to purchase a gift for a friend and
tells Blue that they only have some many blue dollars.

The child then has to find a toy that cost that amount. The number they
are looking for is always under the money.

Then they click on the money and take it to the register to pay for the item.
The money is counted as they move it.

This game is an amazing deal for $4.95
It also has a shapes section.

With number recognition.
And there are three different levels for you child to progress on.

Nevaeh loves playing this game.

They also sell a Blue's Clues Preschool 4-Pack.
Remember that 20% of all sales goes towards either Angels or a Reece's Rainbow child.
