Letters and Numbers-affiliate link
Directions:
1. Fill up the sensory bin with peas, then place letters or numbers inside and have child find them.I let my kids play in their sensory bins for awhile, and then we started talking about the letters and numbers.
My son (age 2) would find the letters or numbers and then we would name them. Eventually my son decided to ditch his sensory tools and used his hands. He loved hearing the peas being stirred around in his bin.
I gave my daughter (age 4) specific letters or numbers to find or I wrote down a small word and had her find all the letters in the word. It was a fun game, and a great way for her to practice sight words.
Fine Motor Skills Counting Peas Craft

Directions:
1. Â Write numbers on the paper and have child count out the matching amount of peas and glue them onto the number.
This took a lot of concentration and counting. I wrote down numbers 1-20 and by the end my daughter was a pro at counting to 20 and was proud to have her craft hung on the refrigerator. You could do any numbers you like and could split this activity into different sessions if your child gets tired of counting.
Being able to see the number of peas on each number is a great way to visually see the difference between number amounts.
