THESE FREE PRINTABLE WINTER ACTIVITIES FOR PRESCHOOLERS CAN LET KIDS PRACTICE COUNTING, IDENTIFYING NUMBERS, MATCHING PICTURES, AND FINE MOTOR SKILLS.
The Count on Sesame Street isn’t the only one that needs to know numbers and counting skills. Our kids need practice with counting in order to understand that we assign a number with a group of objects.
These fun winter theme preschool activity clip cards include 3 different sets:
- Matching picture to picture (visual discrimination)
- Matching numeral to ten-frame
- Matching numeral to an array
Use the set of clip cards that works best for you! The entire set can be used individually, in small groups, and in the math center.
In addition to learning about counting in kindergarten here are some more ideas for what you can teach with our Winter clip cards:
- Practicing fine motor skills with the clothes pins.
- Vocabulary usage
- Identifying same and different
- One-to-one correspondence

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 and encourage sensory play.
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).
