  1. Those are so creative! I think designers that use “recycled” materials like she does are so creative! I, for one, would never have thought to use buttons as a basis for jewelry. They are beautiful!

Summer Math Games for Kids

I know the last thing most kids want to do during the summer is anything that feels like school, but the truth is doing little things to reinforce the learning they did the previous year will make the next year easier for them. 

Also true: you can make this learning fun by turning it into game time. 

These printable math puzzles from Living Life and Learning are great to use in the car when you’re on a road trip, or just any time you need a little activity to pass the time. They involve adding numbers up to 10 and include cute summer-themed graphics as well as the numbers. 

Help the bee get back to the hive with math in these math maze puzzles from Artsy Fartsy Mama. There are versions for addition, subtraction, multiplication and division for kids of different levels to enjoy.

Of course math games are even more fun if you take them outside. Hopscotch is a classic outdoor game that can be easily made about math. Just one idea is this skip counting hopscotch idea from Math Geek Mama. Have the kids fill in the numbers and them count them off as they jump.  She also has a fun jumping math maze that looks like a lot of fun. 

Look We’re Learning has some more fun ideas for math games you can play outside including a beanbag toss, counting treasure hunt and sidewalk chalk math. 

Some days it’s too hot to go outside so you might need some indoor math games to play. Math Geek Mama also has a great collection of Lego math games and activities for kids of all ages. Primary Playground has games you can play with Uno cards to learn about numbers, sort colors and more. 

Older kids will enjoy the math games using dominoes from Upper Elementary Snapshots. 

Take your math learning on the go with these math themed cootie catchers from 123 Homeschool 4 Me. There are lots of options here including ones just with numbers, with math problems or that ask you to double numbers. Inside numbers are presented as hash marks, fingers or dots to add an extra layer of fun.
