We have currently been doing themes in my classroom with flowers, garden and Spring. The students have been enjoying our planting, germinating and propagating activities. While learning about flowers and gardens, we worked on some counting and number identification too! This activity is a great way to learn how to identify numbers, count and work on fine motor skills. Get the number flowers HERE. Materials: -Get flower activity here. -dried black beans, pebbles or stones (I used green stones found at The Dollar Tree in the aisle where the vases are) -plastic cup -marker to write the numbers - popsicle sticks or straws -tape - laminate and laminating machine for longer use. This activity can be done a few different ways. Use the numbers 0-100 to work on Number Matching: -Fill a cup with some material to weigh the cup down and make it easier to stick popsicles into it like dried black beans, pebbles, or like the green stones I used from The Dollar Tree. -Write numbers that you want your child or students to work on to the front of the cups. -Tape or glue flower numbers onto popsicle sticks. -Review numbers with students -Students will be able to match numbers or sort number into the correct cups. Number Line: Students can create a their own number line or match flowers to numbers that are already on a number line. Work on number orders. You can work on this in a small field (1-3) for younger students or students just learning numbers, or make it more challenging with numbers 1-5, 5-10 or 1-20. Work on 1:1 correspondence. In the photo below I used flowers I had (numbers and letters) to have students place on each number. There are many different ways to use this activity: matching just the flowers to each other, attach clothes pins to it that has a number on the clothes pin, hole punch a hole into flowers and use links or paper clips to attach the matching numbers. I hope your child or students enjoy this activity as much as my class did. Thank you for reading the blog! Get your alphabet flowers here to do similar activities but with letters!
