Let’s turn those windows into an easy roll-a-flower math game!
Recently we made these stained glass rainbow collages and they got us in the mood for more fun spring activities! Thankfully our Light and Reflections Series is back with math games for our Pi Day theme so we found a way to turn our math games into a fun spring-themed learning activity using some natural light!

This is one of those super easy learning activities that my kids LOVED! It uses windows in a new way and takes a simple flower math game to a whole new level!
Materials:
- Contact Paper
- Painters Tape
- Dice
- Crystal Climbers (Ours are the Constructive Playthings version)
Sticky Window Roll-a-Flower Math Game
I used the painter’s tape to adhere to the contact paper, sticky side out, to the window and then added 6 pieces of painters tape to the contact paper to be our flower stems.
We rolled the dice and counted the number that they rolled. That number determined how many petals we needed to count out for flower petals.
We also practiced adding the petals together to see how many petals in total we used each time we played.
Later when they rolled the dice they sorted each flower by color too.
Easy and fun right?
