Kids love candy hearts. They are great for practicing patterns. Studies have shown that encouraging a child’s understanding of patterns contributes to the development of various kinds of mathematical thinking, including counting, problem-solving, drawing inferences about number combinations, and even algebra.

Hi I’m Shann, a Preschool Teacher, mother of three and Creator of Learn As You Play. I have been working as a preschool teacher for 13 years with children ranging from 1- 5 years old. I believe that PLAY is a huge part of children’s learning and development. Children should be active and involved in their learning. Children learn best by doing. My goal is for children to develop a love for learning while having fun!
