Workbox Wednesday

Last week was originally planned for a full week, but we ended up only doing ‘school’ two days.  Tuesday we had our first co-op meeting, so we only had a half day. Wednesday we tried out a preschool co-op for Z. Thursday we prepared for C’s bday party and Friday was a field trip.  So this post will be short.  But that’s what is great about Home School --- Flexibility!  We had a lot of learning going on, just not so much in our work boxes! 

Color sorting…I printed some color cards (these are actually from the educationcubes.com website, I accidently printed them too small for the cubes, so I found another use for them).  The tins are magnet spice tins from Ikea that I use to have scrapbooking embellishments in, but am no longer using.  I have them on a cookie sheet.  I was originally planning to make a counting game with them, and then thought…”why not use them for other things too”, I dug through our art supplies and pulled out some pom poms, and we have a color sorting game.  If you wanted to add some fine motor to this you could add chopsticks or tweezers.  You could easily use a 6 cup muffin tin as well. 

Here is the apricot Costco container again.  This time he has little dinosaur figures for one-to-one correspondence.
