Winnie the Pooh Math Fun

July 26th 2010 04:03
Winnie the Pooh Bear is a well-loved children's classic storybook character.

Use this sweet, honey-obsessed bear to gain your preschooler's attention when introducing math facts. Relate cooking, time, counting and sorting to Winnie the Pooh and his antics from his stories.

Winnie the Pooh


Originally developed by A.A. Milne in 1924, Winnie the Pooh has been featured in animated television shows, movies, games and nursery decorations, along with the book series.

Try Cooking with Winnie the Pooh Bear

Math is more than just numbers on a piece of paper. Cook a Winnie the Pooh Bear snack and incorporate math skills into a fun treat that preschoolers can make. Mix up a batch of sugar cookies using a recipe from any cookbook. Have the preschooler help measure the ingredients. Once the dough is done, roll it out and use Winnie the Pooh cookie cutters to make special cookies. You can find themed cookie cutters online or in craft stores.

A no-cook version is Pooh Bear Honey Butter spread on graham crackers. Have the preschooler measure equal amounts of honey and soft butter into a bowl. Let them mix the two items together and then spread it on graham crackers. Incorporate math concepts into this activity by showing how the graham cracker can be divided in half or into four equal sections. They can also count out how many snacks they will need to make for the family or group.


Tell Time with Winnie the Pooh Bear

Consider purchasing one of the products on the market that feature telling time with Winnie the Pooh. "Tell Time with Winnie the Pooh Bear" has a clock built right into the storybook. Preschoolers can learn to tell time by moving the clock hands to the right position for each time referenced in the storybook's text.

Winnie the Pooh's Telling Time Sticker book includes full-color reusable stickers for preschoolers to use when learning how to tell time and discover shapes and colors.

Winnie the Pooh Preschool Game

Winnie the Pooh Preschool is a computer game designed for young children. In going through all the steps involved in throwing a birthday party for Christopher Robin, they will learn sequencing, number recognition and counting skills. All the activities are incorporated into the story line. Preschoolers can learn math concepts on their own with this game.
