Graphing for preschoolers is a GREAT activity for cognitive development. It requires your child to sort and classify objects based on a similar attribute…which is pretty complicated for such a little person!
Graphing can be done with real-life objects/toys, food, or even stickers! We’ve had these Sesame Street stickers laying around the house for over a year, so I finally decided it was about time we did something with them!
Here’s what you’ll need: stickers (store-bought or make your own lick-and-sticks), paper, and a marker.
 |
| 1. Get your graph ready to go. For younger children, use 3-5 stickers. |
 |
| 2. Give your child the stickers and the ready-made graph and let him/her get started! |
 |
| 3. After you’re done, talk about which stickers had more, less, and how many of each. |
Another brilliant idea! Loving your blog. :D
What a great idea, We have so many stickers around I will be sure to do this soon!
fun idea! We have done lots of graphing with food/candy/snacks – will have to use stickers soon!
We did this this morning using some stickers we received in the mail! (Of course L came up with the idea to 'graph' them, she always has the best ideas, thanks for the idea!
