Use the mushroom paper crafts your children make for a bright and happy counting line.
Each mushroom has 5 spots and after displaying, ask your students to practice counting each day!
As well, you can secure them to a craft stick to use them interactively in your math warm ups. I'll share a few activity ideas with you for the small group table, here next week.
To make the display, you'll need:
- craft template (over in the Coloring Club)
- paints, crayons, pencils, or markers
- scissors and glue
- printable numbers (see base of this post)
Students make their mushroom, tearing and crumpling (great for fine motor) their paper scraps to become the internal-padding for a 3D effect. Once on display you can add the numbers.
Challenge students to count beyond 50 without numeral support to assess if they've internalized the counting pattern.
