Learning Through Play -- Cars!

This week we've gotten the fun suprise of a visit from our Grandma and Grandpa Franson!  I'm still planning to post pictures of Elizabeth's birthday...and now of their visit.  But, for tonight I'll just post a couple quick, fun learning ideas for boys who love cars!

I saw a cute idea on this website...for an alphabet of letters made to look like a road.  Joshua has had a fun time tracing his letters to spell his name.


On this website...they had a cute idea for a parking lot with numbers.  I made a "one digit" version for Joshua and a "three digit" version for Nathan.  I'd call out a number for each of them and they'd "pull in" to the correct parking spot.  (Or of course if you're Joshua you always back in so you can pull straight out.)  By the time we were done we'd added a digit to each of their numbers!  A fun way to get a gauge of where they're really at in learning numbers and help them practice.

What a fun idea! It's a game but they're also learning and practicing. I'll have to remember this one for the future! :)
