Seven activities that need almost nothing

Sorting the laundry by colour, then by size, then by owner. Classification is early mathematics.

A treasure hunt for five things that are soft, rough, cold, shiny and round.

Building a den from a bedsheet and two chairs, then telling a story inside it.

Drawing the view from the window, then drawing it again the next day and comparing.

Making a rhythm with kitchen containers and copying each other's patterns.

Planting a seed in a cup and checking it together every morning.

Making up the ending to a familiar story out loud, taking turns a sentence at a time.
