I bought these Melissa and Doug reusable stickers some time last year to use as a sort-the-animals-to-their-habitat activity. It was cute and had at least 12 kinds of animals to each habitat.
Worth the 350-peso price tag, I thought. |
I set up four of the habitats as a leave-behind activity on the whiteboards and mixed up the stickers for more of a challenge.
Except this lost little guy, that is. We had a good laugh that night. |
So I switched tactics. Thankfully the stickers are peel-and-stick-again! Since they also stick on whiteboard surfaces, I made a fill-in-the-blank game instead like this:
I had reset the whole thing on a Sunday, and already Ladybug Girl couldn't wait to get started. I left out the appropriate Cat-in-the-Hat habitat book for her to look for clues if she needed to. |
We did three habitats throughout the course of a few weeks:
Savanna animals |
Rainforest animals |
Ocean animals. This time I walked in after I got home and caught her doing it. |
Ladybug Girl even invented names for the unidentified fish, using the only few letters and numbers she knows how to write:
Hello fish A17TA17, why not. |
This is a nice activity for sight-word practice too. I originally designed it as an intuitive leave-behind activity to do while mommy is at the office, but it works as a stay-at-home game too.
She is such a smart little girl <3
