My son enjoyed this activity with Flowering Baby a few weeks
ago. We use this concept a few times with counting. He really does a better job
counting with actual items instead of a worksheet.
We use this method for adding and subtraction problems as well, but this month, I’m going to use Shamrocks for him to count. I’m so pleased with Flowering Baby. This month we are learning about Farm Animals, Gardens (fruit, vegetables, trees). We’re going to take a field trip to a local farm for him to see live animals. This will be so much for him to be up close with live animals. Of course, he’s been to the local apple orchard for the petting barn, but a farm will be so much better.
Flowering Baby has made it so easy for use to learn about
Farm Animals. I was able to find a majority of them from our local library, and
the rest from eBay or Amazon. Our book list this month is as follows:

As in celebrating St. Patrick’s Day, we’re listening to Irish music CD
Putumayo Kids: Celtic Dreamland during Art time. This is another recommendation from Flowering Baby. I see a lot of green being
used this month. Unfortunately, he may not want to see the color green for a
while after this month (LOL).
Listed below are a few St. Patrick’s Day craft ideas that you can do
with your child throughout the month. These are the ones that Flowering Baby
has provided for us and so great because I don’t have to go digging to find a
good fit.
