How Many\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\n

Create corrals for your preschooler\u2019s small animal toys or beds for the baby dolls.\u00a0 Put a number over each corral or bed.\u00a0 Your preschooler will then add however many animals or dolls to the appropriate space.\u00a0 As your little one works through this activity, talk about the numbers and allow him or her to trace the number with their finger.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Muffin Tin Counting<\/span><\/h4>\n

Cut out circles that fit inside the muffin tins and write numbers on them before putting them into the muffin tin.\u00a0 Provide your preschooler with enough items to place items in each hole of the pan.\u00a0 Your little one will then count items into the correct space.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Counting Pancakes<\/span><\/h4>\n

Cut a series of circles out of an old cardboard box and write numbers on each one.\u00a0 There should be a set of circles for each number that is the same quantity of that number (i.e. four circles with the number four, five circles with the number five).\u00a0 Give your child a spatula and a few plates and let them have fun counting and stacking pancakes!<\/span><\/p>\n

Numerical Order<\/span><\/h4>\n

For this activity, you will need a deck of cards containing numbers one through ten.\u00a0 Shuffle the cards and ask your preschooler to place them in numerical order.\u00a0 Your little one can also match the number cards to form stacks after putting their cards in order.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Board Games<\/span><\/h4>\n

Many popular board games include rolling a game die and counting the number of spaces to move.\u00a0 This is a great way to incorporate one to one correspondence, counting, and social skills without your little one even realizing they are doing math!\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Hopefully, these activities will help create a base for your preschoolers future as a mathematician without creating any anxiety for mom and dad!\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
