Kinderpond Hops to Space via Target

 

Since we're apparently we're doing the carnival too,

here are some books to read:

Wooden food trucks for the blocks area.

More wood toys for our blocks area.

More toys, I mean tools for the block area.

Noodle boards for space.

I will put some in our calm down basket and

some will be on our fine motor table. 

I will read this book and finish with the shared classbook.  My students love staring in books!

These pop-its will be in our calm down area and on our fine motor table.

We will read Counting Space People

Space Find

Counting Gumballs

 I am always looking for new and fun things for fine motor work and found these gumball machines and got to work!

They could be for morning bins or centers.

Children will place the same number of counters:

*pom poms

*beads

*mini erasers

*play dough

on top of the gumball machines.

You could add tweezers or tongs for added fine motor work.

I print on card stock, laminate, and then cut apart.

I also have the same idea but as a polar bear theme. Hop over to my blog to check them out in action.

Hop over here to grab them :)

The elephant chopsticks are from Dollar Tree a million years ago.

Te hands set I think WalMart.
