A lot of the preschool workbooks I’ve seen seem to focus on patterns, but Tommy’s not ready to draw specific shapes, numbers, or letters. So I was overjoyed when I saw that Target’s dollar spot had a bunch more foam stickers this week. I picked up every variety, and we’ll be using them for “worksheets” for the next several weeks.
First I let him go at it with the people and animal stickers while I created a worksheet for him. I just told him to alternate shapes without paying attention to colors. He could handle man, woman, man, woman on his own and just needed a little prompting on the others.
Then I created some more challenging shapes patterns for him to finish. He does need to be talked through them a little bit, so I might backtrack and just leave one space for him to finish next time.
I love this idea!! E is probably too young at this point for it, but I bookmarked the activity for later. Please keep posting your preschooling successes!
