Mac was 30 months old

Works For Us...Math!

Math is Izzie's favorite subject! However, she's already tired of coloring and writing the numbers over and over. She would much rather do the math in her head and verbally tell me the answers.

Simple solution: Number stamps!

She loves using them...aka...no complaining and whining!

I found these fabulous number stamps at Target this summer on the dollar aisle.
