The teachers are now divided into three groups.  Group one brainstorms to create math activities or games, such as sorting, classifying, using a variety of materials.  Some of the materials include different sized plastic insects, snakes and zoo animals, glue, shoe boxes, animal shaped paper, plush animals and so much more.  Group two creates an art project by creating a three-dimensional big, big world collage.  Materials include butcher block paper, blue tissue paper, construction paper, glue, scissors and those jungle print foam handprints.  And then group three makes different animals by using shapes, such as rectangles, squares and even different colors and patterns.  This becomes a guessing game that stimulates cognitive development, fine motor, social emotional and language skills.  Some of the materials that they use are paper, glue and scissors.  You can do it, too.
