When the older siblings are working on math the younger ones tend to naturally want to get involved. Such is the case with Luke and Hailey. When Hailey is making cakes and fences with the blocks Luke looks for window of opportunities to do a little Math U See too.
This is Lukes version:
First you put the dvd in the player. (Luke has mastered opening the player, putting in the dvd [sorta] and closing the lid.)
To get things exciting from the get go always go for favorite blocks (the units) first. The trick is to grab quick, run, and try to get them in your mouth before being stopped by an adult or your big sister. (Luke is pretty good at this but thankfully because units are the #1 choking hazard in the box, has not reached 3 second mastery. ) When units are unavailable the 2’s get pretty much the same response.
Under a VERY watchful eye 8’s, 9’s and 10’s seem to not cause such a stir and are better than nothing.
Hmm so what DO you do with a fist full of blocks ????
You can give them to pa pa….
Offer them to “Sugar” the dog to lick..
and/or lick them yourself… licking them after the dog is optional and can actually get almost as good of a reaction as units and 2’s
Please note: These photos and story was for the purpose of a fun post for the blog. We are not suggesting to start using the blocks with your 1 yo. Luke will be much older before he is given this much freedom with the blocks again. Math-U-See blocks are a choking hazard and not recommended for children under the age of 4.
