Preschool Leaf Math
I am so excited to share our Preschool Leaf Math learning time. This post will show six ways you can use leaves to learn simple math concepts.
I sent my son out to find 10 leaves in our backyard. Then, I made little dots on each one with a permanent marker. It is important to keep two rows of five, so children will learn this important number set. Learning five and memorizing the way it looks (and sounds, as in counting by fives!) is an important concept to reinforce!
Here are six very inexpensive ways you can use leaves to match and learn number correspondence.
First, write numbers on simple wooden discs to match. Start slow, with only numbers 1 – 5 and then work up as your child masters the beginning math concepts.
Here is my son placing his numbers on the leaves!
Next, you can write numbers on acorns and match with your leaves.
And lastly, you could write numbers on the leaves, and have your child place beans or small rocks on the leaf to represent that number. Give your child only one leaf at a time, and then gradually move to having them work with 2 or 3 or 5 leaves! You will find that they love working with these tiny, natural objects!
