Magnet trays

Monday through Friday, Brooke and Kate have Magnet Trays to complete. I set up 3 trays each day that encourage them to work independently on certain skills such as letters, numbers, shapes, real-life skills, cutting, and more.

The reason I call them Magnet Trays is: 1) the activity is on a tray and 2) they get a magnet for completing it. Once they collect 45 magnets, it is a trip to the toy store to purchase a small toy or treat. Now, 45 may seem like a lot of magnets but remember I have 2 girls earning 3 magnets each so we get up to 6 magnets in a day. I do not force them to do an activity if they don't want to, but they don't get a magnet unless they do complete the activity. For example, Kate does not like Lacing activities and often will not do that tray.
