This is a wonderful idea to try out! Making a lapbook with your child. Your child will retain the information much easier than just reading a book.

Counting 1-5 (Age 3)
I presented this using a placemat and wrote 1-5 on cutout cardstock. You can use any type of counting objects. I used unifex cubes. This place mat was great since it has a square pattern on it to keep the cubes in a "box". I let my son count out the cubes himself and line them up under the appropriate box. You can use this activity to help discuss odd/even numbers as well.
Pushpin Activity Board
Make your own work foam board for you pushpin activities! Just use a thick foam piece of board and stick a few colorful pushpins on the top for easy access.
Montessori-Push Pin Activity
I love this Montessori activity. When I taught at a Montessori school in Naples, Italy we used this activity every morning in the 4 year old preschool class. The kids knew when they arrived that they would go pick out a push pin and a square of carpet or foam along with the daily shape. This is great for those fine motor skills and to help with concentration.
After a child uses a push pin to punch holes in the outline of a shape such as shapes of continents, letters, numbers, circles and so on...then he/she removes the surrounding paper to reveal the completed shape! The completed shape can be used for a craft or building a map as seen below!
