Bring Variety

Ask a child to name baby animals and tell her the corresponding mothers. This machine turns baby animals into adult animals (chick-hen, foal-mare, kitten-cat and so on). Use pictures for babies.

Ask a child to give you a word then tell her your favorite rhyming word. A poetry-writing machine!

Ask a child to give you numbers and tell her the numbers that are two more, for example, (three, five), (six, eight), and (two, four). This machine adds two to whatever amount goes into it. Use counters on a saucer with kids who can’t add in their heads.
