Flipping Frogs!

Dollar Tree finds for the day...

Take a baby blanket and add some fabric paint to make a target for the flipping frogs to land on...

and you've got a quick and fun math tub for next week!


I added numbers to the target and the kids will have                      
to flip their frogs onto the targets to see how many points they
can earn.  

I think I'll let them count the blank spaces as the number one.  They'll use their white boards and expo markers to create tally marks for how many points they are getting...



Not bad for $2.00 and a small amount of time with some left over fabric paints.
I also found this cute little "pencil" holder that I thought would be great to store the frogs inside while waiting to play the game.


A little paint makes a frog on the front of this even more cute!



Enjoy!

I bought those same frogs and I am using them for a math center this week. My kids make them jump and then they measure how far they went!
