Tweezing, great for hand strengthening.

Pouring colored beads, it makes a great sound!

Gem Spooning, a girl's best friend.

Rocks and Mineral Scooping

What a great trays! I love them all. I also love that you have such a great environment set up--with the tables/chairs/shelves. Right now I just can't find the room in our tiny apartment.

I'd love it if you link up at my Teaching Time for Toddlers post. (Feel free to link up as many posts of anything of yours that is relevant that you'd like!)

Money Exchange Game

We have been playing the Money Exchange Game at home lately.  Bean is extremely interested in money lately, so I made this little activity.  We play this at school, and she has a computer game by Everyday Math just like this.  If you have used the Golden Bead Exchange Game before, it's very similar.  The object of the game is to get to $1.  Each player rolls the dice and gets that amount in cents.  The exchange comes into play when there is more than 5 pennies, it gets exchanged for a nickle.  2 nickels, 1 dime.  2 dimes and a nickle, 1 quarter.  4 quarters = $1.  We play until all players have gotten to $1 to tone down any competitiveness.  We also talk about how this is a game of chance, not skill.  Getting to the dollar first is just that, not winning.  If you can carry a pair of dice in your bag, you can play this game anywhere.  Imagine that! She rolls a 7, takes a nickle and two pennies. She rolls a 10, gets a dime. She rolls a 5, and needs to exchange her
