Counting Birthday Candles

Magnetic strips were placed between the laminated cake sheet and mounting board.
Smaller strips of magnets were also attached to the candles. This activity is used for the theme 'Myself' or 'I have a Birthday'. Preschoolers are encouraged to do count and do simple one-to one correspondence.

For Kindergarten level, I would cut out number words and have them match 

them to the  numerals.

Supermarket on Mars

 

This is an extension to Rigby Rocket's 'Supermarket on Mars'.

I made a shopping cart and had children pick out a picture card and have them say

"In goes.....into the shopping cart" This activity helps children to use the proper terms such as 'a bar of chocolate'; 'a box of cereals'; 'a loaf of bread' and so forth.

Food Display

Fishball Mee Pok.

GNoodles made with cotton yarn. Green and red electrical tape are used for the garnishing -spring onions and chilli. Fishballs are made using crushed toilet paper or kitchen towel with water and PVA glue. You need to squeeze them hard to form the shape.

Meatball Spaghetti

Meatballs are painted brown and the spaghetti is painted with yellow Ochre. As for the tomato sauce, I cut out a circle from a kitchen towel and dab in some dark red paint.
