Inside: Add some simple counting with these printable pinecone count and clip cards. A fun way to work on preschool math skills!
We love adding pinecones to our preschool fall theme.
After going on nature walks, we explore the pinecones in a variety of ways in our various learning centers.
This year I decided to create some pinecone count and clip cards to our manipulatives table for some number recognition, while also working simple counting skills with numbers 1 – 10.

Not only can they be used in the preschool classroom, but they’d also be fun at home during some quiet time.
You could even keep these cards in a bag along with clothespins for an on-the-go activity!
