I LOVE this center. It is so easy to put together and builds number and fine motor skills all at once!

I dump counting bears into our sensory bin and then wrap yarn around it in various directions. You could easily recreate the same activity with other small parts as well.

Surprise, surprise… number identification, counting, grouping and sequencing is a HUGE cornerstone of our Kindergarten program. This is something we begin at the start of the school year and weed throughout.

I often setup simple number centers only using loose parts, a tray and tongs, but there are so many ways to explore numbers both in our classroom and outdoors. Nature scavenger hunts, wherein we count our finds, are also a fan favourite on mild school days.

Sidenote: If you are looking for some printables my number pack includes a variety of worksheets and centers that help build introductory number skills OR you can try out my number crowns for a fun number practice activity.
