Count the Flowers Spring Math Activity

Inside: This spring math activity is so easy to make, and is a great addition to your gardening theme! It can be adapted depending on the preschooler’s counting skills and used as an independent active, or in small groups.

I love being able to make my own materials for our preschoolers, such as these flower sticks for a spring math activity.

I have a very limited budget. If I can make it for a fraction of the cost, that is just what I’m going to do! While I kept this particular activity simple, you can easily adjust it for those who are counting higher.

Count the Flowers Spring Math Activity for Preschoolers

What you will need:

• Fabric flower heads
• Popsicle sticks
• Containers (the number of containers depends on how high you will go with the counting)

Putting this spring math activity together:

• Glue the a flower on the top of each craft stick. (I used a hot glue gun.) If you are using 5 containers, you will need 15.
• Label your containers 1-5, or more, if that is your choice. You can simply write these on a sticker and place it on the container, or print them from the computer (as I did) and tape them to the container.

How to do this spring math activity:

Display the containers in a row, with the flower sticks beside them.

Call out the numbers with your children, pointing to each number as you do so.
