| Counting. Recognizing numbers and colors. |
Each day after gymnastics class (posted about yesterday) Sweet Pea and another little boy would have fun at the pool table in the public game room at the recreation center. Only the pool balls were on the table, no cues, but the other mom and I still kept a close eye on the boys’ fingers.
Playing with pool balls was really fun! Not only did the boys have fun simply rolling the balls trying to hit other balls and get them into the pockets (coordination) they also practiced number recognition! You can’t get much simpler than that!
Another day when Sweet Pea and I were at the recreation center for another class we stopped in the game room and had fun with the pool table. This time I challenged him to tasks like rolling the blue and white ball to hit the yellow ball, or the 7 ball to hit the 3 ball. He had a blast, and for me just one playing at the table was a little more relaxing, although we still watched the fingers!
