Summer Grab Bag
Target skills: Sorting, colors/ patterns, writing numbers (order & recognition)
What kids can do: Make a Summer Grab Bag-a shoebox covered in sunny-yellow
construction paper and decorated with summery doodles and stickers. Every day,
add one new item to the box: sunglasses, sunscreen, compass, sea shells, etc.
Then invite children to count all the items and sort by color, size, shape, or
subject (beach items, camping, etc.). You can use your Summer Grab Bag items for
other math activities (see below) or as writing prompts, too!
