How To Use The Winter Clip Cards For Preschoolers
Counting and matching with preschoolers
All you need to do is print the winter clip cards, cut them out, and laminate them.
Make sure you have enough clothes pins for every clip card you are using. If you don’t have any clothes pins, a dry erase marker to circle the answers will work well too.
Other Ways To Use The Winter Clip Cards For Preschoolers:
Ten Frame Playdough Play
Have your child use pieces of playdough (they can roll them in a ball) to practice counting on the ten frame clip card. Rolling a ball of playdough is another great way to practice fine motor skills.
What’s the Sound?
Students can figure out the beginning sounds of each winter clip card picture and say additional words that begin with the sound.
Dry erase Differentiation
Has your child already mastered counting and clipping? Give them a dry erase marker to write down the number in different ways (numerical, dots, tally marks).
