I decided to create some preschool count and clip cards that are a great companion to a December theme. These count and clip cards invite preschoolers to count how many reindeer are on each card and find the correct number. A fun way to work on rote counting and one-to-one correspondence!

Count and Clip Printable Reindeer Activity
What you will need:
Reindeer count and clip printable cards (scroll down to find link to free download) One clothespin per card
Skills built:
Number recognition Counting 1:1 correspondence Fine motor
Directions: For best results copy the activity onto heavy paper (card stock) or laminate. This gives it more durability, especially if you are using it in a classroom setting. Cut the cards apart and provide clothespins. How to play: Place cards and clothespins on a tray or placemat. Invite your preschoolers to count the reindeer on each card and clip the clothespin to the correct number. Alternative idea: If you don’t have clothespins, you can use a small object such as a pom pom or button. After counting how many reindeer are on the card, find the correct number and cover it with the small object.
