Tips with Miss Charlotte
Offer this to your child and tell them, “Uh oh! The seeds fell out.” See what they do!
Take turns rolling dice and encourage your child to put that many seeds in the kiwi as you count together. This is a playful way to add math skills such as number identification, one-to-one correspondence, and subitizing skills into a game!
