Paper and large child-appropriate crayons in two colors.
Age: 3–5 years; choose for the individual child.
Let's make it happen
- Draw a large shark with a body and a top fin. Write 1 + 1 inside the body and 3 - 2 inside the fin.
- Make a key: write 1 beside one color and 2 beside another. Count on fingers or draw dots to solve each problem.
- Color the body and fin using their answers and the key. Add waves or sea plants.
Adult stays beside the child and offers counting support. Choose problems that fit the child's skills.
