CLICK HERE for more spring sensory bin ideas! I love everything about this season – the frogs croaking in the yard, the caterpillars that will be delivered to our classroom, the seeds we will plant, and the nature walks we will take. Spring officially enters our classroom in April after we return from spring break. While colors start popping outdoors, our classroom becomes more colorful, too! When planning our spring theme, I love to add the season’s touches to all of our learning domains, including math. I found 10 fun, hands-on spring math activities that can be done in the classroom at the activity table or during small groups. For those of you at home, these can easily be done at the kitchen table. The chalk counting garden activity, however, is a fun outdoor activity that can be done during recess or in your driveway. Each of these ideas provide opportunities to build number recognition and counting skills. Free printables included! Ladybug Counting Craft: While making a ladybug, use a number line to count the legs before adding them to the body. Fingerprint Counting: Download the free templates to create caterpillars, ladybugs, and flowers.
