ArtsPlay™ Tiny Explorers (ages 3-4)

Workshop 1:  “1-2-3, Count With Me” (Math Foundations)

We’re making groceries! One-to-one number correspondence, or understanding that the word “one” is directly connected to one item, is an important foundation in math. What better way to explore it than with food? Sing and count along as we play in everyone’s favorite room in the house, the kitchen!

This workshop is FREE and presented by The Helis Foundation, and you must register for each workshop to participate.

This free 6-part workshop series is made possible by The Helis Foundation. Our workshops provide engaging arts-based activities designed to instruct caregivers on how to use the arts at home to promote early learning. Lessons are conducted by certified Louisiana Wolf Trap Teaching Artists, who have expertly crafted multi-sensory experiences that foster children’s natural curiosity for learning. After each workshop, children and their caregivers can download our digital Connection Cards for tips on how workshop activities can be continued at home.
