Number identification and counting

These are east activities that can be done at any time.  I noticed at the the time that Sophia did not have a big grasp on number recognition and often skipped numbers when counting.  
Easy as can be to prepare.  I took a large sheet of paper and broke it up into 10 squares.  She loves to glue ANYTHING so this was a no-brainer.

She took googly eyes and glued the correct number of eyes to match the number.  This can be modified to be harder by using words instead of numbers in the boxes.


Next up, we took 10 plates and wrote a number on each plate.  I mixed them up and she had to first line them up in order from smallest to biggest.

She had to find objects to put on each plate.  The plate with the number 1 had one object....

Oreo needed to monitor her work.

This was great for her to practice counting.  At every plate, she had to count what she was placing down.

She enjoyed this but as we got to the higher numbers, she started to lose interest.  She claimed she couldn't find anything to put on the plates....We finished up to 10 and then I had the fun job of putting all the things back where they belonged.
