If you haven’t read my Phonemic Awareness in the Garden post, go back and read that first. This will be an extenuation of that activity.
If it’s possible, get your hands on some pea pods. If you do not have access to garden fresh peas, you can pick up Sugar Snap Peas from the grocery store (my local Walmart carries them).
Read The Little Pea by Amy Krouse, I have attached a link to listen to the book online.
After you have a handful of peas, talk about them with your child (this helps with oral language development). As them about the texture, the color, if it’s hard or squishy, and etc..
Carefully open up each pea pod and let your child count the number of peas in each pod. If you child has learned how to write his/her numbers have you child write down the number of each pea pod.
Pod 1: _________
Pod 2: _________
If you want to avoid the mess or you want an individual activity here are cards you can print of and download. Counting 1 – 10.
