Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer ๐Ÿ’ฏ Hundred Board Skip Counting by 2๏ธโƒฃ Math Activity

I love bringing books to life and setting up small world invitations to play. I also like mixing different subjects, and today, we are bringing my children's old favorite Rudolph Lift-the-Tab book (buy here) to life with a math twist. 

We are using a traditional Montessori Math material: The ๐Ÿ’ฏHundred Board (buy here), which consists of a blank board and wooden numbers from 1- 100. The objective is memorization, and an understanding of numbers and their sequence. Also, this material trains the child to work from left to right, top to bottom; while teaching counting and skip counting, number recognition, number sequencing, patterning and much more.

After Adrian assembled The ๐Ÿ’ฏ Board, I offered him Christmas color pom poms and tongs to create and follow a pattern while skipping the numbers by two.

Besides awesome fine motor stimulation the child receives from tonging, this is also a great sequencing activity as the child has to remember the pattern while placing pom poms on the board.

DSC_0165Tonging pom poms is a great fine-motor exercise.

I would say this book is a great addition to your Holiday reading collection for children from two to four years old. Do you have a favorite holiday book?
