JACK-O-LANTERN SHAPE MATCHING

Geometry activity for toddlers

I cut out some circles in orange construction paper, drew two triangles for the eyes, a square for the nose and a semi-circle for the mouth. I protected them with contact paper then cut the same shapes out of black paper and protected them as well. Then I put a piece of two sided tape on each shape of the pumpkin.

I displayed them on the table during free play.

I love how that one year old is working with her beverage and cell phone next to her.

When children are busy developing their skills, they are busy and happy. It should never be something to stress about though. The children under my care here and now are my priority at all time. If i sweep the floor for example I keep an eye on the group at the same time and if a child needs directions or a fight happens I drop the broom and go assist them accordingly. Maybe it's a child climbing on the shelf, then I'd get the blocks out and sit them next to it. If 2 children are fighting I might suggest they sit across one another and roll a vehicle to each other. If they are quiet during the day I might start to sit at the table and plan or prepare an art project but if the atmosphere of the classroom gets hectic I invite them to cut with me at the table or draw with me, or dropping everything and march with...
