Purchase a set of poker chips and several sheets of stickers. Place a single sticker on top of each poker chip. Make sure you use at least two of each sticker so your child learns to match them. Mix up all of the poker chips and help your child find the matching stickers. To add further variety, match the colors of the poker chips in addition to matching the stickers.
Use cardboard, construction paper or poster board to cut several shapes. Glue ribbon, stickers, buttons, string, rope, cereal or macaroni to each shape to add variety and texture. Sort the shapes with your child and say the name of each shape. As you sort, talk about the feelings of the different textures with your child.
Select several different items from your home to compare and contrast with your child. Talk with your child about the size, color, shape and texture of different items. Ask your child to find an item that is bigger than another one. Then, ask your child to find an item that is smaller than another. Hold up two items and ask your child which one is softer. Then, ask your child to find an object that is a specific shape.
Count different items with your child. Choose beans, buttons, coins or even toys to count with your child. Start small and work your way up to bigger numbers. For example, ask your child to help you count three teddy bears. The next time, ask him to count five stuffed animals. If you count buttons, ask your child to help you find four red buttons or five blue buttons.
