Magnet Board Number Match


Aunt Lynda made Q this awesome magnet board. Since Q's been very interested in naming her numbers lately, I decided to put out some number work. I got out a set of magnetic numbers, layed them down on our scanner/copier and ran off a black and white copy of them (black and white because I want the feature she is focusing on to be the shape of the number, not the color). I cut them apart, taped them onto the metal board, and presto! She can now practice matching the numbers.

This same thing could be done with letters, shapes, words, animals, or even letters to SPELL words or names.
For example, I could put out the letters for:
Mommy
Daddy
Quinn
Alie

For smaller kiddos, they just enjoy putting magnetic letters/numbers/or pieces on and off a metal surface. This is great fine-motor for them as they have to use their small finger muscles and coordinate their arm/wrist strength.

No magnet board? Use your fridge!!
