Homemade Printables

This week, doll had some fun with  math printable made by mama.
 
 
 
Matching colored symbols.
 
For each symbol, I made two of each but in different colors. I wanted to her to exercise her observational skills i.e it may be the same shape but is it the same color?

 
Matching numbers from 11-20.
 
This was intended for her to learn counting beyond 10. She is at this moment comfortable in counting from 1-12 and then it gets fuzzy in between but picks up again from 18-20. Hee Hee!

 
A montessori inspired number board. Instead of the 100 board, i made a 20 board for doll to arrange the numbers in order. 
 
 
Another printable to help her in counting.
 
Each tree has a number indicated on it and she has to put the corresponding number(s) of apple(s) on them. The permanent Velcro stuck on each tree acts as a control of error for her. It guides her on the exact number of apples she should put.

 
Tong-ing cotton balls.
 
I thought she didn't have the ability to use tongs which was why i put this activity off for a long time. I have under estimated her. She took this like a professional! She even knows how to angle the tongs such that she can clip the balls into place. Lesson learnt from this mama!
