Number 10 + N


Animal domino with numbers
A-Z letter find activities
You can play with pool table balls if you have any... We don't:-(
Karina started to learn her times tables at school, and I looked for some free online gamesfor her to practise with. Barni wanted to play, too, and I let him give it a go. I told the muliplication fact and he had to find the given answer. Good number recognition excercise for him:-) He loved these:
 Online pinguin game to recognise numbers (with mom!)
Pearl search is another easy one
One with snowballs



I did the Letter N for him with the Peg Mosaic, he made the yellow lines. We counted each colour.


Two by two folder game - Find the animal with No 10 on it! etc

And don't forget about Carisa's free letter N printables!

Tésztás desszert-ötlet. Az én átiratom: Egyszerűen beleöntjük olvasztott csokiba az előre kissé megfőzött tésztát, és fészkeket formázunk belőle. Hűtőben hűtjük min. 30 percig, és tálalás előtt tojáscukorral megpakoljuk. Családi barkácsolásnak is kitűnő - a végén mind a 10 ujjunka megnyalhatjuk:-)

Pop cakes / Süti nyalóka

While watching this video about making pop cakes, Karina convinced me yesterday that we can make it too. I did have some leftover sponge, so today we gave it a try. I can say it is not bad, but it looks a waste of time for me for such a few cakes to serve... But it was a good way of spending quality time with my daughter, we had fun together. The boys woke up with good timing, we were almost done...





The ones that went wrong...

Well? Not bad...

Cookies for our Valentine - both kids took one cookie to each classmate at school and kindergarden. And of course to their teacher... Recipe is from a Bori book.



By the way, Karina loves this series about Bori. I tried to find you the English versions but failed so far. They are originally in German, I think, she is called Conni in German. Does anyone know about English stories of Bori/Conni? She is such a cute little girl:-)
This is the recipe in Hungarian.
6 months passed, and I managed to find a trailer in English! Bori is called Conni in English too, and there is a series in TV. If you find links for English episodes, will you please let me know? Thanks.

Number 7 + B (not from RRSP!)

This time I am not using Carisa's pack with number 7 in it, as for number 7 she had the letter X. In Hungarian we don't use it at all, and even in English Carisa was struggling with it, too. So I decided to go for letter B instead, as it is far away from now, and my Barni could use the knowledge of his own letter. So don't be surprised to see different things here from RRSP.
Regarding Hungarian number 7: we write it differently. There is a horizantal crossing on it (something I don't know what to call properly...), and also, the top line is not a straight line but a wave. So I find it important to teach the kids that there are lots of different number 7s, still we need to recognise them.
I am sorry, but some of the activities can not be found at the sites. I have an awful lot of things downloaded and I am using them, but many can't be downloaded anymore. In these cases I give you the link for the writer's homepage.
