Our preschool art show is coming up. Our class is working on assembling the hand print blocks the kids gave me for my birthday back in the fall.

| Blocks numbered and ready to web. |
At the last minute I had a brainstorm of how the kids (4- and 5-years old) could each have a turn to sew, but the blocks wouldn't get out of order. Webbing is how I usually assemble blocks. I realized that if I numbered the blocks in order and each child picked up the assigned number(s) it would work.

| Block #20 chosen to be next. |
Sure enough. It worked and was good math practice in the process. They can count, but this was number recognition. We also worked out the pattern - color plain color plain color plain. A very good lesson before it is even the quilt that they can't wait to finish.
