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.

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.

Invite the children to place the correct number of flowers in each container.

Once the children master this, try mixing up the numbers so they are not in order.

    Looks great, I’ve been looking for counting games for my 2 year old, we have all the bits except fake flowers so I might make cardboard lollies instead 🙂
