Last night while laying in bed, I came up with this snack counting activity. For snack time, we used a number line I typed up to practice counting to ten. There are tons of different things you can do to adapt the activity to your child's level. I made the sheet available if you would like to try it with your preschooler. You can download it here.
Charis (nearly 5): We would put five on the number line and then I would ask how many she would have if she added 3 more, etc. Then we did the same thing with subtraction.
Porter (age 3): Counted up to ten, and as he ate each number counted backwards.
Hunter (age 2): She practiced putting just one snack in each box.
Let me know how your kids like the activity! Enjoy! (And, yes, we are still in our pajamas!)
