At OMO, we believe that every stain represents an important experience - mud stains are the stamp of adventure, grass stains are the sign of exploration and fruit stains are the aftermath of discovery. Encourage your kids to get messy with our fun activities for happy, healthy, confident kids. We'll be there to sort out the dirty clothes afterwards.
How many sticks?
By creating shapes out of sticks, this exciting activity will teach your child shape and number concepts.
What you'll need:
What to do:
Grab a stick and draw three to five shapes in a sandy area; they should have straight edges. Stack a pile of sticks close to the shapes so your child can access them during the activity.
Ask your child to put a stick down for every side that the shape has. Once all the shapes are finished, ask them to count out loud, how many sticks they put down. Now they know how many sides each shape has!
