What you need:
- Legos
- Paper
- Marker
How to:
All you have to do is
- Write down numbers on a piece of paper. The numbers should be ones your child will recognize. The numbers do NOT have to be in order.
- Then have your child build the city skyline. Make sure to explain that each lego represents one floor and that the number represents how many floors that building should have.
- Point to one number and ask them to tell you the number. Then help them count the legos to equal the number of flours.
- Stack them up and voila you have built your first building.
- Continue to do this until you have built your entire city skyline. Have fun!
Objective:
Your child will work on number recognition, following directions, and fine and gross motor skills as they stack the blocks together.
Tip:
Make sure to set your child up for success while also challenging them. There is no need to use many numbers if your child can only sit for 5-10 minutes at a time. You can use as many or as few numbers as you think your child can handle.
