Sand Writing - Fill a small box (approx 6"x4"2") with sand. Print cards with numbers. Have child draw the numbers in the sand.
Playdough Sheets - Print and laminate cards with numbers. Have child roll playdough and place it on the card tracing the numbers.
Wet Noodles - Cook up some spaghetti and let your child explore. Shape the noodles into numbers.
Hot Glue Tracing - Write numbers with hot glue. Once the glue has cooled have the child trace it with his/her fingers.
Toy Letters - Gather similarly colored toys. Use the toys to make giant numbers on the floor.
Fill in the Missing Number - Make cards that have a missing number (1 2 3 _ 5) and have the child fill in the blanks.
