This preschool game is super fun and incredibly simple. We’re in the midst of lots of thunderstorms and this was a fun boredom buster. We even incorporated some math skills that is perfect for preschoolers!
What You’ll Need:
- Bowl
- Playdough
- Wooden spoon
- Plastic bracelets
I’m sure you can tell by the picture what you do: stick the ball of play dough in the bowl and stick the wooden spoon in the play dough. Stand back and toss the bracelets!
Brady took some practice shots and then we played a game. He stood a couple of feet away and tossed the bracelets. Each one that landed in the bowl was 1 point and the ones that made it onto the spoon handle were 2 points. When it was my turn, I stood a few feet further away. He beat me every time. 🙂
It turned out to be a really great way to practice math. Each time I would ask him to add up his points, then after my turn I would tell him my score and ask him to tell me who scored the most. The best way to learn is through play!

Liz is a just a mom trying to keep it real about how little she sleeps, how often she gets puked on and how much she loves them. You can find her here every day writing about real-mom moments.
So cute! I love all of the activities you come up with.
Aw, thanks!!
Wow! So simple. How come I couldn’t think of that?! Thanks for sharing!
Simple and easy, yet hours of fun! Birilliant Way to go, Liz! Thanks for sharing with us on Makeovers & Mohterhoor’s Welcome Party Wednesday Lin-Up! I am featuring you this week!
This is great! I pinned it to my “children” board on Pinterest because it’s something that kiddos can make themselves! I envision several bowls with varied heights of spoons spread around the Living Room…
This is great, never would have thunk it, lol!! Shared on fb!!
You made an effort to explain key points with nice information; I’ll show it to my friends and ask them to read your post frequently as well. I like the quality of your essay.
