Count the Seashells (Better to be printed in landscape)


A while back I made my sister (who is a preschool teacher) some clowns to use for her Circus Theme in her classroom. She came up with a great idea to use a couple of the clowns to help with counting! She would give the child a number and then that would be the amount of pom poms the clown would be juggling.
All I did was print out the clowns, color them with colored pencils,cut and laminate.
Numbers can be fun or frustrating depending on the time of day, the child, which way the big tree branch is pointing in the front yard. Sometimes there is just no rhythm or reason as to why some little ones pick it up faster than other or why some are interested and some are not.
We cannot fear our child’s college prep score later just because they are not interested in numbers now. But we can help them become interested and have fun with learning. My belief is that when they have fun; they learn. They may not realize it, but they are learning.
I hope you find the math items helpful. More will come as seasons change. It’s summertime and time to hit the beach!
So here are the pails and the seashells for your little ones to count.
I used textured card stock for the shells and used colored pencils to do the enhancements on them.
You will need: Construction paper, card stock (optional), glue, markers and colored pencils.
I found the templates for the shells on Just Paint It Blog.com and shrunk them down to the size that I needed them.
All you have to do for this one is print everything off!
I print the baskets off in landscape (5×7) and the apples I use Microsoft Word to copy and paste multiple ones to a sheet and then copy a sheet. I can usually get 12-14 a sheet depending on how big I want them.
Again, I laminate to make them last.
Cupcakes are fun to eat and fun to decorate! So why not let the kiddos decorate and learn to count at the same time? Using pom poms or buttons, or anything you thing would be a great additive to the game have them decorate their cupcakes according to what the card tells them.
All you need is construction paper, card stock, glue, markers, number stickers (optional).
