Dana, from Dubai, sent in this great idea. Let’s take a look at it…

What did you do?

Children have a natural desire to try and make sense of the complex world they live in, that’s why sorting exercise are of particular interest to them 🖤.⁣

By making matches and categorizing objects they systematically begin to bring organization by utilizing what they know!⁣

We collected a few rocks during our morning walk. I scattered them on a paper and traced them!

Once done, I removed the stones and had Talia have a go!

We used similar sized stones to make it slightly more challenging for Talia and this worked well! To simplify use different sizes!

Do you have any other projects planned?

DIY lighttable.

Tell the Housebound With Kids community a bit about yourself…

How are you finding being housebound so far?

I love all the extra time we’ve been getting together and the slower pace to life!
