Who this list is for
This flower counting board is for six-year-olds practicing how a printed number matches the same number of petals. The finished board is for repeated counting practice rather than a permanent classroom display.
How to use this list
Use the ruler and pencil to plan 10 spaces on the large poster board. Add number stickers 1 through 10, then make flower centers with yellow cardstock circles. Cut colored cardstock petals and attach hook-and-loop adhesive dots so children can place the correct number of petals around each numbered center.
Common mistakes
Do not glue every petal permanently to the board, because the removable petals are the counting activity. Keep one number per flower center and make the spaces far enough apart that petals do not overlap. Check that hook-and-loop dots are firmly attached before children begin matching.
What is on this list
The list includes one large poster board, 20 colored cardstock sheets, 10 yellow cardstock circles, number stickers 1 through 10, and hook-and-loop adhesive dots. It also calls for glue sticks, washable markers, six pairs of child-safe scissors, a ruler, and two pencils. Cross off supplies you already own.
When you are done
Mix the loose petals before the next child uses the board, then ask them to rebuild each flower by number. Store the petals in an envelope or small container with the board so the set stays together.
