For our fall leaves theme I made a leaf ten frames which is great for number recognition and review as well as fine motor development. I printed the patterns on cardstock paper ... cut them out and then laminated them.
I put the leaf cards in a basket along with pom poms that had self-adhesive magnets attached to the bottom of them (they add weight and prevent the pom oms from moving around). We also like to use playdough balls with ten frames but you can use what you would like for the counters. I have included counter circles with the patterns that you can put on the frames.
In this activity the children pick a card and put the correct number of counters on the frames. You can choose to set all of the numbers out or just a few. For younger children I recommend starting with numbers 1-5 or 1-10. The set comes with numbers 1-20.
As of 2022 this activity can be found in the member's section which is also where I have added a fall leaf basket match.
