Train Up a Child: 5 DIY Manipulatives for Preschool and Kindergarten

Are you looking for supplies on a budget? Look no further! Here are five of my favorite manipulatives for early learning. It took me about an hour to make all five, and the only supply I purchased specifically for this project was magnets. I've mentioned most of these at one point or another in my Tot School and Tot Preschool posts, and I thought it would be nice to post the specific details in one place for anyone interested in the details. 1. These are self explanatory. . 2. These didn't even take five minutes to make. . 3. These are probably the favorite are here. In general, so pom poms with magnets are the bees knees to him. 4. These were made exactly like the Pom Pom Magnets. From 1+1+1=1. 5. I made two sets, so my boys can make two digit numbers by place the blocks side by side. Each set of manipulatives is stored in these pencil boxes. Printable Paper. What I made.
