Number Work
Counting Flowers
I put play-doh in the bottom of each plastic cup and labeled them with number stickers. Emma was able to count and sort her flowers into each cup. I got the flowers at the dollar store and each stem had multiple flowers on it so I just cut them apart and sprayed them with a little perfume for fun!
Pre-Writing Skills
name letter Stamping
I pulled leaves from our tulips outside and used these letter stamps. I love them because they have upper and lowercase letters!

Science
Bubbling Spring Shapes
I put baking soda in Spring shape cookie cutters and vinegar with food coloring in these squeeze bottles. She thought this was so cool and asked to do it over and over again. I suggest getting a lot of vinegar ;)
Nature Walk
Bug Catcher
Baby fine/Gross Motor Play
It was a lot of hard work for my buddy to reach in and grab the bugs and then squeeze them into the "bug jar" they came in. You can find the bugs we have here. I just threw them in a plastic container and fastened some ribbon around it!
Happy Spring!
