To prep: Print and laminate the button counting cards (download below).

To use: Have your child cover the pictures of the buttons on the counting cards with the correct number of buttons.

These cards are perfect for new learners who are not ready for independent counting. The kids simply cover each button picture on the card as they are counting. That way they know when to stop for each number.

Use the cards alongside your favorite books, like Pete the Cat and His Four Groovy Buttons, for a fun math and literacy activity for preschoolers.

Let your kids work with the counting cards while you read them a story. This is especially great for kids who have a hard time sitting still while listening. Engaging their hands can actually help them focus. Relating the story and the math activity will help them make connections in their brain.

Head over to your craft stash or your sewing kit and grab a handful of buttons, then print off these cards and you can start this activity with your kids. It’s one you can use over and over and your kids will continue to have fun and learn!
