"The secret of good teaching is to regard the child's intelligence as a fertile field in which seeds may be sown, to grow under the heat of flaming imagination."

Workshop Wednesday

Bow Matching

Try this simple, inexpensive activity during centers or in small groups.

Materials: Variety of Christmas bows; container to hold bows (will need more than one if using for small group); sorting mats or containers (if using a sorting activity)

Directions: Provide a container of Christmas bows and have the children find the 2 bows that match. (If you use a variety of bows they will need to look closely at the shade and texture.) You could extend this activity by having the children sort the bows and then tell you how they sorted them. They could count the bows (number of matches, number of red bows, number of small bows, etc.) You could provide different sizes and they could match or sort by size. There is so much to do with bows. Your kids will LOVE this activity!
