Looking for a fun and easy reindeer activity that works on math and counting skills?

Count and Clip Printable Reindeer Activity

 

I decided to create some preschool count and clip cards that are a great companion to a December theme.

These count and clip cards invite preschoolers to count how many reindeer are on each card and find the correct number.

A fun way to work on rote counting and one-to-one correspondence!

There is also some fine motor going on as the fingers pinch the the clothespins open.

Count and Clip Printable Reindeer Activity

What you will need:

  • Reindeer count and clip printable cards (scroll down to find link to free download)
  • One clothespin per card

Skills built:

  • Number recognition
  • Counting
  • 1:1 correspondence
  • Fine motor

Directions:

For best results copy the activity onto heavy paper (card stock) or laminate. This gives it more durability, especially if you are using it in a classroom setting.

Cut the cards apart and provide clothespins.

How to play:

Place cards and clothespins on a tray or placemat.

Invite your preschoolers to count the reindeer on each card and clip the clothespin to the correct number.

Alternative idea:

If you don’t have clothespins, you can use a small object such as a pom pom or button.

After counting how many reindeer are on the card, find the correct number and cover it with the small object.
