Watermelon Math Center

Watermelon Match Center For Preschool and Kindergarten
I made a watermelon themed math center activity that also works on developing fine motor skills. I printed the patterns out and on cardstock paper ... cut them out and laminated them.

Before we began the activity the children rolled black playdough into small balls about the size of a blueberry and put them into a dish.  The children loved this part and it really helps with fine motor.  If you do not have black playdough you can use brown playdough ... black pony beads ... even black oil sunflower seeds.

I set the watermelon slices in a basket for the children to self selected and they put the matching number of playdough balls on each watermelon. The watermelon patterns include numbers 0-30 and you can grab them here.
