Patterns with Safari’s Good Luck Mini Honey Bees (glow in the dark and standard). I created pattern cards to match with the minis. If you can work one on one with a child, I like to start a pattern and allow the child to finish it. Or have the child create a pattern.

In addition to the pattern work, I have several early math works mainly to simulate the traditional spindle box and the card counters work.

I have loads of ideas and works in the pipeline. I look forward to sharing these ideas with you over the school year.
