Welcome to a new year of our Light & Reflections Series with Dyan from And Next Comes L, Katie from Happily Ever Mom and our newest collaborator Devany from Still Playing School! All year long we will be bringing you a new post each month centered around light and reflections with a different theme each month! Check out our upcoming themes below!
For this week’s installment of our series we are focusing on math and/or shape activities so MB and the daycare girls did some counting on the light table! These light table counters are a simple activity that helps the girls practice their counting skills. We’ve been doing a lot of snow related activities lately so the girls decided that the circles were snowballs!
Don’t forget to check the links below to see what Dyan, Katie, & Devany have created this week!
It’s a super simple activity to throw together! Just cut out circles, laminate, and label then you’re ready to go!
I set this out for the girls to use after nap time (FYI it was Pajama Day here so no judging the toddler still in her jammies after nap time 😉 )
“Number 4! 1,2 ….”
“5! I did it!”
It’s a really simple activity but the girls got a lot out of it and had a great time counting their “snowball towers.” I was really impressed with their level of number recognition! A bunch of little smarties!
Now pop over and see what these other amazing bloggers have created this week as part of our Light & Reflections Series and check out all our upcoming themes too:

Great idea for number recognition! We’ll have to try it soon – maybe with hearts for Valentine’s Day! PS. E is frequently in her jammies all day!
Thanks! Yes hearts would be perfect for Valentine’s Day!!!
What a simple, but great idea. I got a laminator for Christmas so now I can do stuff like these snowball counters. And yeah, my kids are in jammies like all the time!
Such a great idea, Lisette! A wonderful way to encourage counting 🙂 PS. I LOVE that you do pajama days for your kids! Lovely!!
Laminators are awesome! I love mine! We frequently have jammie days on the weekend! Especially in the winter because jammies are so warm and comfy!
Such a sweet idea. I don’t have an overhead, but I think my kids would have fun with it nonetheless. Cute idea!
