Snack Cubes ⠀ ⠀ Teach your child about geometr

Snack Cubes ⠀
⠀
Teach your child about geometric shapes in a tangible (and edible) way! These edible cubes are made out of cheese squares, grapes (or other small snackable items), and toothpicks. Set out a plate, butter knife, toothpicks, and snack items at a workstation, along with an additional set for you. First, show your child the toothpicks and gently feel the ends, so that they are aware of how sharp they might be so that they are as cautious as needed with them. Next, help your child cut the cheese or other snacks up into small cubes. Show your child how to set toothpicks out in a square shape, and connect with pieces of cheese or grapes at the corners. Next, add more toothpicks and cheese or grapes at the corners, and finish your snack cubes off by filling them out with the remaining toothpicks. Build as many snack cubes as you like, connecting them with more snack items. You could even stack them on top of each other to make a tall structure. When you are finished, enjoy breaking down the cubes and eating the snacks off of the toothpicks. If your child finds this activity difficult to construct on their own, break the task down into simple steps and build them together. When you've made all the cubes you like, break them down and eat the snacks off of the toothpicks. ⠀

This activity is one of Mrs. Houser's geometric shape activities in our Kindergarten Singapore Math videos.

Are you interested in the Singapore Math method, but not excited about the steep learning curve as a home educator? Our streaming instructional math videos are so easy to follow, you will forget it's even math. Watch a few sample videos from our YouTube playlists with your child to get a peek inside what all the talk is about.

What are you reading this week? 📖

Yes, it's winter, but we could all do with a reminder that springtime is coming soon! Join your children and make Wildflower Seed Bombs as personal little gifts to give away, or as a nice gift to yourself to prepare for warmer weather. 🌷⠀
⠀
🌻 Wildflower Seed Bombs:⠀
⠀
To make these colorful and happiness-spreading seed “bombs,” each child will need about 2 inches of air-dry clay, 1 teaspoon of good quality soil, and 1⁄2 teaspoon of wildflower seeds per child. To set up, prepare a suitable workspace, like a dining table, with a protective tablecloth. Measure out the clay,⠀
soil, and wildflower seeds for each child, and have them ready at their individual work stations. When it’s all set up, invite the children to the table. Have the children roll their clay into a ball then flatten the middle with their thumb, forming a little bowl. Have them pour the teaspoon of soil into the clay bowl, then mix it into the clay. Have them repeat the process of making a clay ball into a clay bowl. Next, have them pour the seeds into the clay bowl and gently mix in. Ask the children to form the seed mixture into a shape (hearts are cute!) and let them dry, a few days at the most. ⠀
⠀
Wrap your Wildflower Seed Bombs up as gifts, or save them for your own yard. When the weather is warmer, dig a hole in good soil, place the “bomb” in and gently cover. Water as needed and watch your flowers grow! 💐⠀

Venn Diagrams are a fun way to contrast and compar

Venn Diagrams are a fun way to contrast and compare just about anything! You can always draw a Venn Diagram on paper, but what about doing a huge one on your floor?!⠀
⠀
You could compare and contrast seasons (such as Spring and Fall, as seen in this photo), or maybe two siblings! Gather yarn, index cards, and markers. Use the yarn to create two large circles on the floor, that overlap in the middle to create the Venn diagram. Using index cards, label each circle with the two things your child wants to compare. Label the overlapping space in the middle of the circles “Both.” Lead a discussion about the ways the two things your child has chosen are alike and the ways they are different. As your child comes up with an idea, write it on an index card and have the child place it in the appropriate part of the Venn diagram. As you are discussing, you may find your child wants to move some of the cards around. Encourage them to rethink things and move cards as needed. You can take a photo of the final Venn diagram to save the project, or just let it be a fun activity that helps your child learn and grow.⠀
⠀
*A version of this activity can be found in our Primary Literature Book-A-Week unit on the popular book "Hundred Dresses"
