Supplies for heart counting activity:
foam shaped hearts – I found mine at the dollar store little plastic hearts – also from dollar store sharpie markers small bowl
Directions:
This counting activity was so easy to put together.
I placed the numbered foam hearts on the table with the small plastic hearts in a bowl. My child then sat down and called out the number to me on the heart. We also talked about the colors of the hearts too. After he recognized the number he counted out corresponding small hearts for each number. For the number 2 he counted out 2 plastic hearts.
You can even modify this activity and ask them 1 heart plus 2 hearts equals how many. Or 3 hearts minus 1 heart equals how many. Great way to introduce addition and subtraction while having fun.
