We’re so excited to announce our new collaboration with Allison at All For The Boys! We’ll be regularly sharing a variety of fun and educational posts on her blog. As a new contributor, we’ll start with a series called Teaching Concepts.
The first in our series is pre number concepts, discussing the differences between big and small. Understanding basic concepts helps strengthen a child’s vocabulary and builds early mathematical skills. Instead of using traditional paper and pencil, we combined sensory materials with a fun twist – squishy toys and glowing neon paint!
For the full activity, see Concept Sensory Painting at All For The Boys blog.

It’s bounce, bounce, bounce time! Continue reading
