Smooth the tape down to ensure it doesn’t create any bumps or ridges. The cloud is the spot where you will use a whiteboard marker to write the number or equation for your child to figure out.
Take a long nail or any other sharp, skinny object you might have and poke small holes throughout the cardboard. Space the holes out evenly.
Then, dye a handful of cotton swabs blue to act as raindrops. Cut them in half so only one end of the cotton swab has the cotton bud. Stick the cotton swabs through the holes when counting them out.
You can also adapt this activity to different age groups. For two to three-year-olds, use numbers from one to twelve.
For four to five-year-olds, use bigger numbers from thirteen to twenty. And for six to eight-year-olds, introduce more complex concepts like addition or multiplication.
