These Christmas themed count and clip cards are a fun, hands-on activity to help kids to develop and build their counting and fine motor skills. Counting cards are also a great way to work on their understanding of one to one correspondence.
Count and clip cards are great for math centers and learning at home — they are also the perfect size for a preschool busy bag on the go! Place the cards and a handful of clothespin into a ziplock bag and you have a fun, portable learning activity for the kids to work on while waiting for an appointment, at a siblings’ practice, or even at a restaurant.
Printable Christmas Count and Clip Cards
These cards are super easy to make…just print then cut out each card. I like to laminate mine to make them extra durable, plus it gives me a reason to use my favorite laminator! Using cardstock also helps make them last a bit longer when being used by little hands.
This printable set of Christmas reindeer count and clip cards includes twelve cards featuring different ocean animals to help kids practice numbers 1-12. These cards are great for learning at home or in the classroom, used independently or even with a partner during centers.
