HOMEMADE LADYBIRD NUMBER MATCHING GAME FOR TODDLERS


The 1-2-3-4-5-spot ladybird number matching game (homemade)


Today we played with our homemade ’spot the ladybirds’ spots’ game... It was all fun. I found this free printable sheet on busylittlebugs and I customized it a little bit... originally it comes with a set of leaves with numbers on them, but for my 21 months old it is far too incomprehensible... so I just left out the whole business with the numbers on the leaves, cut the number of ladybirds from ten to 5 and used little black buttons to be placed on the spots and basically that is it.

It is useful to have exactly the same number of black buttons as needed because it helps your child self-check (each button must go) and also it can be a bit messy if you overdo it with the buttons...

So it is a fun game and very-very cheap (you need a colour printer and a laminator or instead of laminator if it is just a one off you can simply iron the laminating pouches).

Plus side: on budget, hand crafted thus very valuable J fun to create and fun to play with

Drawback: toddlers might swallow the ladybird spots; have to keep an eye on them (or 2)
