Lots of Lotto
Cut out pictures of objects from catalogs, magazines, or color newspaper
advertisements. The Internet is another good place to find pictures. Look for
animals, toys, faces, and other things that are familiar and appealing to your
twos. You will need two exact copies of each picture.
Make “lotto boards” by dividing strips of poster board into three or four
sections and gluing a different picture in each section. Make several boards
and laminate them or cover with clear contact paper. Each board can have a
“theme” such as animals, children’s faces, or toys.
Make “lotto cards” by gluing the duplicate pictures onto separate pieces of
cardboard and laminating each.
Encourage the children to match the lotto card to the same picture on the
lotto board.
Developmental Tip
Give young twos a lotto board with three pictures to match. When
they need a greater challenge, use boards with more pictures.
Object to Picture
Collect a few small toys with a definite outline or shape.
Arrange the objects on a copy machine with an inch or so between each one.
The copy will have the image of each object.
Glue the copy on a piece of construction paper and laminate or cover with clear
contact paper.
Invite the children to match the object to its shape.
Shapely Snacks
For snack, put round crackers in one bowl, square crackers in another, and
triangle crackers in a third.
Let the children choose two crackers from each bowl as they repeat the name
of the shape.
Put some shredded cheese on each child’s plate and show them how to cover
one cracker with cheese and put the matching cracker on top.
Enjoy!
