Answer
Math:
-Using muffin tins for 1-to-1 correspondence with toys, placing one toy in each section.
-Working with nesting cups or nesting blocks while talking about size comparisons and height.
-Matching games with socks, cards, or sets of toys (For example, combine pieces from two shape sorters, and encourage children to find the pairs that match by shape and color.)
-Scooping and pouring with sand or dry rice, filling and emptying containers of various sizes and using scoops of various sizes.
-Working with unit blocks, talking about shapes as they play.
-Using flannel board pieces, puppets, or toys to add and remove pieces as you sing "5 Little Ducks" or "5 Little Monkeys".
-Using glue sticks and basic shapes cut from construction paper to make collages.
-Sorting sets of similar toys (such as trucks, rubber ducks, or balls) from smallest to largest.

Science:
-Playing with flashlights
-Painting with ice cubes tinted red, yellow, and blue with food coloring
-Exploring shadows outside on a sunny day
-Painting with water using large brushes outdoors on a warm day, and noticing as it dries
-Going for a walk to collect leaves, rocks, and/or other natural objects
-Observing grasshoppers, ladybugs, or other non-toxic insects in a bug box. (Provide leaves/twigs for cover and a damp cotton ball for moisture, and turn loose again after a few hours.)
-Exploring fresh fruits of veggies using senses. How does each look inside and out, feel, smell, taste?
-Blowing soap bubbles.
-Exploring materials with different textures (burlap, silk, terricloth, etc.) with hands and/or bare feet
