The idea was to help Ollie with his mental arithmetic but it expanded out to all sorts of things; Adding, subtracting, counting backwards, forwards from higher number, tens and units, counting in multiples, reading a clock, days of the week, months, seasons, the words for specific baby animals, male and female animals, adding money, giving change, letters. Basically anything and everything just to keep variety and stop me going insane!
When Daddy is home in time for bedtime, the boys get very excited about Daddy doing their quiz. Unfortunately Daddy struggles to think of questions. So that got me thinking about making a hanging that will help us think up questions.
Daddy came home tonight and said "Oh look, Mummy has been at the felt again!" and I had!!!
I made a hanging with 9 pockets for pictures/things I had written on a word document, printed and then laminated (on my birthday laminator!). The pockets are animals, money, sums, time, words (flash cards & letters), numbers (so can do sums with bigger numbers), times tables, shapes and other.
It seems to work well. It certainly helps my brain when it stubbles around trying to think of new things at the end of the day!
The good thing about it is it can evolve as they get older and have different things to master.
