My son loves cars so we try to include them in lots of our learning activities. For this activity we are learning about counting and measuring.

For this activity you need:

  • Different sized cars, we used a variety from big trucks to little sports cars
  • Lego blocks, the smaller bricks are better as you will use more and encourage them to count more.
  • Paper
  • Pens

How to do the activity:

I asked my children to choose and car and put it on their paper. Then I asked them to line up the blocks along the length of the car. Next, we counted up the blocks and wrote the number of blocks underneath.

This taught my children many skills, like counting, measuring and writing numbers. We all had lots of fun with this activity.

If you give this activity a go, please tag us in your photos as we would love to see them. You can find us here  FacebookInstagram, or Tiktok.
