Fun Activities - 5 Little Penguins

We've been having fun using these little penguins to learn about math lately. It is a simple song about 5 little skating penguins. We have been using the story for reading practice and speech. Most of the activities we have been doing are math related. We have been counting the penguins on our fingers and using the equations to help work on subtracting the penguins.

For kids who don't know colours yet, these little penguins could be used to match alike colours or to match the colour to the matching word. Likewise, the penguins could be numbered to work on numbers & number words.

Here is the website that I got the penguins & story from. They have tons of free printables in a large range of themes & include a daily free printable. Here is a link to their site:

My blog contains information about different therapies, supplements, learning programs, etc, that have helped our daughter. Like everything you read or learn whether it be in books, on the internet, through seminars, etc., you need to do your own research too. I really believe that many parents can benefit from my experiences as I can from theirs, but you still need to do your own research and when appropriate check with your child's health care provider or other specialist to be sure that it is best for your child.
