A little plan for play
Open interactive activity →Add to play journal →What you need
A full sheet of paper and large child-appropriate crayons.
Age: 3–5 years; choose for the individual child.
Let's make it happen
- Draw two large watermelon slices. Add a few seed marks to each, using a different number on each slice.
- Touch each mark once as you count the seeds in the first slice, then count the second slice.
- Adult writes the matching number beside each slice. Add one seed mark to a slice and count again.
Adult stays beside the child; draw seed marks rather than using loose seeds.
