Introduction:
The flannel box promotes the development of fine motor skills, and improves physical and visual abilities. Collecting and sorting small objects will help him learn about sizes, shapes, and patterns, thereby developing his math skills. Children will use visual perception, known as visual processing: this is the brain's ability to make sense of what the eyes see, necessary for counting or discriminating between objects, and problem-solving skills and discovering similarities and differences between them. Sorting activities increase language taking an important role in the development of self-regulation skills and executive functions (problem solving, self-confidence, socialization, etc.).
INSTRUCTIONS:
Line the shoe box with the butcher paper.
Draw two strips (dividers) with the cereal box with a pencil, measuring with the ruler and cut and glue them inside the box.
Glue the black felt box to the top of the shoe box lid.
Color the wardrobe, the farm and the geometric figures (using Red for the square, Blue for the triangle and Yellow for the circle) and paste inside the box
Cut out the drawings (we will use them as molds: clothes, animals, geometric figures), trace them on the felt and cut out. (Only in the geometric figures we will use the colors Red for the square, Blue for the triangle and Yellow for the circle)
Color the boy and the girl, glue them to the cardboard of the cereal box and cut out.
Trace on the colored sheets the child's name, the first letter of his name in a different color and stick it to the box.
