Number cards with dots

I made these a few years ago for little man so he could get familiar with numbers and how many each number represents. He still loves playing with these and now when he uses them he counts out the
numbers on his own.

 

I don't have pictures of the process to make these but they are pretty simple. I used cardstock so they would be a little more durable than regular paper. Then just grab a stencil, write out the word, then the number, and then draw that number of circles on your card.

There are a few ways you can use these. You can use them as flashcards, you can count out numbers of other objects.

We usually use bingo chips to place on top of the circles.

 

Just set them up and give your child a few options to play with them. Bingo chips, flat bottomed marbles, you can even invent a game where they need to find objects to match the card (ex. 3 little cat figurines for the number 3 card) Your child will show you how they want to learn and play, just follow along with them.
