We use our glass stones for all sorts of things; in our imaginary play scenes, counting games and as 'money' when playing shops, laid side by side to make roads and write letters.
Yesterday we used them for a fine motor stacking activity and also patterning games so that Bubble could practice sequencing and Squeak her colours.

Bubble found stacking the stones challenging, it gave her fine motor control a good workout!
Both girls enjoyed the patterning activity; we made sequences of varying lengths, making them longer as we went.
A two colour sequence.
Three colour sequence.
Just found your blog and LOVE your ideas! I am a new follower.
ReplyDeleteI love that that type of coloured stones feel and sound so soothing. That probably sounds ridiculous but I have worked with so many young children who love them :)
