Summer Counting Cards

Here is a Summer freebie for our Northern Hemisphere(and Southern ones in a few months) friends- Summer Counting Cards! Aren’t they colorful!(Download instructions below)

Get your preschooler to practice counting skills during the holidays in a fun way! Laminate these cards and use with a dry-erase marker or playdough- forming the numbers and counting out with pieces of dough. Or, use any other type of manipulative to count out using the pictures as reference.

Counting activities like these are great for practicing one to one correspondence because it is hands-on and involves more than one sense to learn.

Combine it with a variety of colored manipulatives and you have a color recognition activity too! Not to mention developing finger strength when picking up the pieces..

A fun way to sneak in counting practice during Summer! Add this to a small bag and keep it in the car for an on-the-
go activity!
