  Green Slime

As part of our summer preschool we played Bunny Hop Math, Texture treasure hunt, and made Slime Green Silly putty

Math:

Bunny hop math

First I made up 8 cards to draw from with images that are found in the room and placed them in a bowl.

To Play:

1.  Let your child draw a card from the bowl. Let them point to the object in the room from the card they drew.


2. Ask them to estimate how many jumps it will take to get to the object.


3. Let them try their guess out.  Did it take the 6 hops they guess? Nope it took only 3.


4. Return the card to the container and pick another cart.  This time they picked a different object.  Let them guess and hop to the object.  This time they were right.  Keep the cards in the right guess pile.


5. After they've gone through the whole pile and had some fun talk about estimation for a bit.

Ok so my artist skills are a bit lacking.  I may cut the items out of a magazine next time.

Texture Hunt:

Using the sense of touch, take a walk through the house and your yard to discover the many different textures around us.

Instructions:

1. Grab a bag or pillowcase to start your hunt.  As you take your walk around the house or yard collect different feeling objects.  Make sure to grab textures that are smooth, bumpy, rough, soft, and hard.  


2. Once you've gathered around 10 items pick fun place to lay a blanket an observe your items.
