I am so excited to share our fun bugs kids math game today! My daughter had so many giggles and I can truly say it was such a great bonding moment pretending to be a mad scientist in our bug lab. And the best part was how simple it was- there was no crazy printing or excessive cutting of game pieces and we had all the things on hand. Ok, before I keep chatting let me just say that our activity is a part of the #toolsforlearning series and our challenge for the week is play dough tools.
Bug Lab- A Fun Bugs Kids Math Game
Before you can start all the fun you need a few things: (Please note that affiliate links are used below for your convenience):
- Cardstock
for printing - Printer (we absolutely love our Epson Stylus NX530 )
- Play dough
- Play dough accessories (beads, googly eyes etc)
- Bug Lab (at the end of this post)
for printing
)
How To Play
1.Print the bug cards on cardstock or on regular paper and then cut out the bug cards.
2.Place the cards in a stack and have playdough as well as playdough tools on hand. Some colours to have handy are blue, yellow and pink.
3.Allow your child to pick a card and recreate each bug as well as the number of bugs given. If a card with the #1 and a ladybug is chosen, it means that they need to create 1 ladybug.
