I bet everyone has some loose change lying around the house and I’m sure that everyone also has a muffin tin stored somewhere. If you do, you also have yourself a fun little learning game for you and your kiddo.
My daughter has been fascinated with coins and we have been on a big sorting kick. This was a fun game to get her thinking about coins in a couple different ways.This fun play-through-learning activity is designed to focus on different areas of learning.
YOU know your child best and can adapt this activity into what works for their age. At the end of the activity I let her pick out 5 of her favorite coins and we put them in her piggy bank.
