There are two sets of cards both are for reinforcing the concrete and abstract form for number 10-19. Download them here.
Set 1 - cut out all the cards. You will also need a bowl of snowflakes, mine are silver punched ones or you could use mini pom-poms. If you only plan to use the cards once then a snowflake stamp would work well too. If you want to make the penguin bowl holder I'll explain below how I made it further on.
The child takes a card, reads the number then counts the correct amount of snowflakes on to the card. This is the first time we did the activity and there is no control of error so when I put it on the shelf I will put out just 3 cards and the exact number of snowflakes to complete the activity. That way, if he has mis-counted on one card he will have either too many or not enough for the last one.
Ask the child to lay out the cards with the penguins on and then to lay out the number cards, in order. Then child then counts the penguins on the first card and finds the matching numeral and that is it, get them to match all the cards & numerals. When they have finished they can check by looking on the back of the penguin cards to see if their number and card matches. Alternatively you could ask the child to write the number in the box on the penguin card. They could then be stapled together and made into a mini counting book.
I printed the extra penguins in the red boxes so that it could be used as a low level activity too, ask the child to count how many of this penguin or that penguin on the card.
I often prepare new activities when Ebi-kun is engaged with some work. I thought it would be cute to have the penguin hold the bowl of snowflakes, so when he was busy, I used the pattern for the felt penguin (enlarged to fit on an A4 page). I basically just cut the pieces out of construction paper and glued on all the bits. Then I used tape to stick the penguin to the bowl. But of course, Ebi-kun spotted what I was doing and he wanted to do it too, so I cut out another set and told him to make it himself and here is his penguin....
If you missed the link above you can download all the penguin cards here. The penguin artwork is the property of Tricia-Rennea.
These counting cards are for personal use and are not to be sold in any form, digital, printed or otherwise.
