Bring in a patchwork quilt. Play Eye Spy using the blocks. Children love looking for the sailboat or frog or yellow flower!

Quilt math: assemble a make shift quilt and use it to graph ratios, how many red squares? yellow? green? Discuss how many pieces make a whole (early ratio) For toddlers talk about squares and colors. Have them tell you the order you would assemble a quilt in (sequencing) Also you could explain how a quilt is assembled with 3 pieces; back, batting, front. Talk about sequencing; assemble a quilt the wrong way and talk about how silly it looks. And opposites; under/over, hot/cold, outside/inside, what you can see/can't see, right-side/wrong side (of fabric, of quilt as it lays on a bed). Batting would be a great thing for sensory play, and crafts. Thread or string for art and sewing or lacing cards in the centers. This is a theme you can really "warm" up to.
