Owl Number Match

10/31/2016

owl alphabet match added to the member's section

The free membership printable this week is an owl number match which is great for number recognition and review. I printed the owl mat on cardstock paper and laminated it. I made two copies of the number squares and cut them out and laminated them.

I separated the numbers into two piles and set them out along with the owl mat. I also mixed up the numbers in each pile so that they were not in order.

I attached a self-adhesive magnet to the back of each number square to make the squares easier to pick up and sort through. The magnets add a little weight to the squares and make them harder to slide around once they are on the mat.

In this activity the children put a number card on the blank square on the left and then find the matching number card and put it on the blank square on the right. Play continues until all number squares have been matched.

You can grab the patterns for free until Sunday October 23rd ... after that they will only be available in the member's section which is also where I have added an owl alphabet match.

owl cover-up fine motor activity for preschool and kindergarten

If you have followed my blog for a while you know that I love creating activities for fine motor development. I made an owl cover-up for the first week of November and it is actually part of my new upcoming fine motor cover-up download which will be released very soon!!

Just print out the owl mat on cardstock paper and laminate. There is a black and white version ... a part color version ... and a full color version to choose from. There are also two different cover-up levels.

In this activity children cover up the blank circles. We used buttons but you can use items such as:

playdough
pom poms
magnets
stickers
flat glass beads
do-a-dot markers
bingo daubers

You can also have the children roll a dice and cover up the same number of circles on the mat for a roll ... count ... and cover activity.

Always remember to use supervision when using small items with children under the age of three and those still in the stages of putting items in their mouth.

You can grab the owl cover-up here and if you get a chance let me know what items you would use with this activity by leaving a comment.

The free membership printable this week is a spider alphabet sequence match which is great for letter recognition recognition and review as well as fine motor development. I printed the patterns on cardstock paper ... cut them out and then laminated them.

I separated the spider cards and the letter circles and set them out in a basket. I also mixed up the letters so they were not in order. I made both upper and lower case letter so you can choose which you want to use.
