Counting Cars Numbers 0-5 Book

Ever wondered how and when to start teaching your preschooler their numbers? How about the fact that the last time you taught a preschooler their numbers was when you were still able to get enough sleep per night? Well I am now on my quest to create fun preschool activities that will help me teach C his numbers and to be honest, I kind of wished that I had twins from the get go so I would only have to teach everything once.  Today I will be sharing with you C’s Counting Cards 0-5 book and the #teachECE team will also have ideas for teaching the numbers 0-5.

 

IN THE BOOK

When I started sifting through my brain for hands-on preschool activities and how to incorporate these ideas in his numbers book, I decided that I would include:

• pictures of cars
• cars to match the numeral being displayed

And then I got to thinking, why not add some subitizing in there while I was at it and maybe a sticker page or 2 that could help him with his circle identification?

 

Well all my brainstorming led me to this:

 

 

Here is a sneak peak of the book:

 

The yellow stickers are covering the 5 white circles on the wheels. There is also the picture of a die with 5 spots as well as the number 5.

How To Use the Counting Cars Number Book

FIRST print the pages of the book on cardstock or regular printing paper if you prefer.

SECOND cut the pages along the dotted lines on the side.

THIRD staple the book together ensuring that all the pages are in the right number order.

Allow your child to cover each tire with a sticker so that it corresponds to the number on the top right side of the page. For example, if you are working on the number 4, then your child needs to place 4 stickers down- 1 for each tire.
