Setting up the Count and Climb Jack and the Beanstalk Activeness

First, cut 10 leaves from your craft foam or cardboard.

You can add more (upward to twenty) for your older kid. Add the leaves to the arts and crafts sticks.

Then make slits in the cardboard roll for the craft sticks to fit in. Number these slots to represent with your leave sticks.

For the giant's castle: cut the cardboard in the shape of a castle and add the windows and doors with a marking. Gum this onto the elevation of the cardboard curlicue together with the cotton fiber wool for "clouds".

Time to play!

Let your child add the beanstalk leaves, hither he will need to utilise his number recognition skills, counting skills and fine motor skills.

Climb and count upwards the beanstalk! We used our Duplo man as Jack and as he climbed upwardly and up, my son(3.5 years old) did the counting.

Older kids tin let "Jack" leap upwards the leaves in 2'southward etc. to work on skip counting.

When coming downwards from the castle, your kid can count backward until Jack reaches the ground. My son made an ax with leftover cardboard and at the cease, he "chopped" off the leaves(pulling out the sticks) so the giant can't get down!

We played this over and over(and over) again. Later he played all past himself and made upward his ain stories as well. Thus making this simple toy great for imaginative play too!

A fun counting(and playing) activity to go forth with the story Jack and the Beanstalk! I am certain your child will dearest it just equally much.
