Elmo’s daddy, Louie, is teaching him about the math concept of shapes by creating pictures from them. Try your own science- or math-themed version of their activity:
- Take a nature walk together and collect sticks, leaves, or rocks.
- Once inside, make a collage using those items.
- Talk about the texture, shape, and size of the items (smooth, rough, thick, thin, fragile, sturdy, large, small).
- Count the items together.
