My daycare children LOVE doing obstacle courses, and it’s such a fun way for them to learn about early geometry. It is very evident that it helps them learn spatial awareness and how to communicate about where their bodies are in space.

My daycare children would love this hands-on activity! One easy way to prevent the beads from sliding off is to securely tape the lace to a table. I love helping them learn patterns this way because it is easy for them to see and it refines their fine motor skills as they use the beads.

What a lovely lesson! Not only does it engage the children’s senses, it teaches them about the natural world *and* math. I’ll certainly use this in my daycare as we collect autumnal items on our walks.
