Jelly Bean Math

I printed out this graph and my daughter filled in how many jelly beans there were of each colour.

Maple Taffy

Step 1: Heat up 2 c. maple syrup to 235 degrees, using a candy thermometer to test the temperature.

Step 2: Pack snow onto a baking pan and pour out the maple syrup in a line.

Step 3: Let it sit for 30 seconds and then roll it up with a popsicle stick to make your maple candy.

Pattern Blocks

I had my daughter design a picture using pattern blocks.  Then, she traced it and coloured it in.

Here is a great site for pattern block templates: http://prekinders.com/pattern-blocks/
