DIY Workbook - Make a Checklist

Checklists are a great learning tool! I made this one for our trip to the zoo. I chose to use words, but you could use pictures as well.
I asked my son to figure out the first letter of the animal we saw, and then find a word on the list starting with that letter. It was a good exercise to work on spelling.
You can really simplify this, making a checklist of colors to look for around the house, or a checklist of toys to collect in their room. The options are pretty endless.
Checklists are also great for math. You can add up how many you checked versus how many remain to be found, subtract the number you found from the total on the list etc. Just customize it to your kid's level. A checklist could have 3 items or 20 items!
