A couple of days ago I made a fun ladder for my sister's classroom (yes, she's a teacher too). I got the idea from a colleague who used a ladder to help students learn how to count from 1-10.
I wanted to give a fun note to my craft so I used bright colors. I believe with a little monkey toy climbing up and down the ladder my sister's student's will learn to count in an enjoyable way. There are so many things a little monkey can do, climb up the ladder one by one, two by two and so on or start climbing down (to teach reverse counting)...
A simple handcraft made in less than an hour (and that because I had to wait for the paint to dry) will hopefully bring joy to some little guys trying to learn simple maths. All I needed was some driftwood from the beach, some paint and my hot glue gun!

I love your ladder. I taught older kids, but many were distracted with psychological issues. I had to think of ways to engage them...a hook. A colorful ladder is a great hook.
It's hard to keep them engaged and occupied, especially in my sister's class, who's a special educator. I hope her little ones enjoy this hook.
Teachers who care make a difference for a lifetime. 🌷🌷
Very cute Ruth
Awww - even more cute
I think that the little boys have fun playing with this ladder and maybe even understand mathematics. You have handmade it great and I like that you want to bring joy to the little boys. Every learning must be fun, enjoyable and interesting.
Πραγματικά Είναι φοβερά...
Όπως και η πίτσα σου. Χαχαχαχα
Έλα, παραδέξου το, η πίτσα σ' άρεσε περισσότερο! :P
