Counting Pancakes is a fun "pancake theme" counting activity that children can do. Children need to recognise and identify the number on the syrup bottle and add the correct number of strawberries on top of each of the pancakes. This is a great way for children to recognise and learn numbers and for one to one correspondence. This can be used in a variety of ways including with playdough where children can make their own toppings out of playdough, when laminated children can draw their own toppings etc.
This is an activity where the children will develop their fine motor skills and also improve their focus and concentration. It is a very simple activity where the children will learn to make various patterns using straws.
This interesting and simple activity for children, enables them to make shapes using straw pieces and playdough. This will improve the child’s ability to recognise shapes and develop their fine motor and cognitive skills.

I am a little Valentine,
Red and white,
With ribbons and lace,
I am a beautiful sight.
I can say ‘I LOVE YOU’,
On Valentine’s Day,
Just put me in an envelope,
And give me away.
I put my hands together ,
This is how I start
I curve my finger right around,
And I can make a heart!
I can say ‘I LOVE YOU’,
On Valentine’s Day,
Just put me in an envelope,
And give me away.
I am a little Valentine,
Red and white,
With ribbons and lace,
I am a beautiful sight.
I can say ‘I LOVE YOU’,
On Valentine’s Day,
Just put me in an envelope,
And give me away.
