I spy bottles -Garden themed

Got this idea from counting coconuts        I used small milk bottles the kids got in happy meals. I bought some buttons from Micheal's that are garden themed and also added some paper flowers. Im going to use this for a couple of my classes one is an infant/toddler class so these are perfect for sensory and then I'll adapt them for preschool age by making it a game. I took pictures of each item in the bottle and Im going to make a little book of the items. They will have to find each item from the pictures in their bottle. The pictures will also have the word so they can do some word association. All add pictures of the book I make when I finish it.
Materials:
Clear plastic bottles
rice (plain and/or colored)
small themed objects (whatever theme you want) I found buttons are perfect because you can find them in almost any theme.
Dont forget to hot glue the cap!

Easter!

Heres a fun math game to add to your math area. Children will match the number on the top half of the egg to the correct amount of dots on the bottom half of the egg. This gives them skills to recognize and match numbers. One-to-one correspondence and also matching colors.
