Learning Numbers Peg Board

I love this learning numbers game and DIY project by Mae Armstrong.  She is always doing something truly awesome for her kids.  This project is a perfect way for kids to understand numbers as values and associate them with the digit.  

First Mae started with a 2"x4" wood scrap.




Plan your number spacing before stamping. If you want to be absolutely sure you can measure the space in between and mark them with a pencil.



After stamping mark the holes for the pegs and drill the appropriate number of holes. After drilling use a sanding block and smooth out the surface of the wood.



Use a fine sanding paper.



Feel the surface to make sure there are no rough spots. Then use a Crystal Clear Acrylic spray to seal to protect the wood and also the stamped surface.  This is one of Mae's strengths.  She really goes above and beyond to make it a complete project.  (I would have skipped the spray!) 



Mae picked up package of wooden golf tees at Walmart.



Here's my son concentrating on placing the right number of pegs.



I just love this project. Hope you enjoy it too!
