Christmas 19

Estimating is an important mathematical skill. Have fun with this Christmas themed estimating activity using candy canes! See who has the best estimate.

Help your child develop maths skills early with this simple addition activity. Work out each problem to find out which colour each bauble should be.

Making paper chains is a fun way of creating decorations at Christmas, or any other time of year. Cutting the strips of paper uses bilateral hand coordination, meaning both hands are doing different tasks. Gluing the ends together practises hand-eye coordination and concentration. 

Acrostic poems are a fun way to introduce children to the concept of poetry. Finding a word that starts with each letter of the theme word encourages initial sounds recognition.
