Circles and Clothespins

I wanted something simple for my older daughter to practice her counting, and my younger daughter to practice her colors and shapes. I have seen many of the circle wheel and clothespin ideas floating around, and it seemed like the perfect idea. I found the number one here. This was perfect for us as it has numbers 1-10 on the front, and 11-20 on the back. I printed on card stock, and then used self-seal laminating paper (similar to this). I used the same idea for the shapes and the colors. I found the color wheel here, and the shape wheel here (this site has a lot more activities I want to try as well!). I did draw some more shapes on the back of the paper that were not included on this wheel. For each activity, I simply wrote on the clothespins the matching number, color, or shape. For the numbers, I wrote out the name of the number as well as digits. For the color, I colored the clothespin on one side, and wrote the name on the other side. Sorry I don't have step-by-step photos of the process - I am new to this whole blogging my activities thing.
