No prior knowledge needed, just come ready to have fun!
Activities
- Numberblock Creations: Draw and color your own Numberblocks using paper and coloring materials. Cut them out and create your own Numberblock world!
- Numberblock Math: Practice adding and subtracting using your Numberblocks. For example, if you have Numberblock One and Numberblock Two, how many blocks do you have altogether?
- Numberblock Stories: Create a story using your Numberblocks as characters. What adventures will they go on?
Talking Points
- "Numbers are like magic blocks that can come together to make bigger numbers. Just like how Numberblocks join together!"
- "When we add numbers, we put them together to find out how many we have in total. It's like a counting adventure!"
- "Subtracting means taking away some blocks. How many blocks are left if we remove some from our Numberblocks?"
- "Let's use our imagination to create stories with our Numberblocks. What exciting adventures can they go on together?"
