I HEART CRAFTY THINGS: Baa Baa Black Sheep Preschool Counting Game Printable

Our Baa Baa Black Sheep nursery rhyme fun continues this week with this darling preschool counting game printable. It is great for toddlers, preschoolers and even kindergartners for working on their counting skills from 1-12 and also works as an introduction and visual aid for learning simple addition facts. It's a simple and fun math activity that requires little prep and is a perfect theme for a spring or Easter learning activity for kids.

Directions: 1. Print off the Preschool Counting Game Printable on white cardstock paper. Use your 2-inch circle punch to cut out the 12 bags of wool on the second page of the printable. You could also cut these out by hand but the circle punch makes the task a breeze.

2. Lay out the preschool counting game on a table with the wool bags on the side and place two dice inside the circle on the printable. You could also choose to use one dice for toddlers to play. Now your preschooler is all set to play!

How to play:
Playing the game is super simple. How many bags of wool does the black sheep have? Roll the dice then carefully move them into the circle on the printable. Count the dots on the dice to find out how many. Count out that number of wool bags and place them onto the printable. Clear the board and roll the dice again, continuing to play for as long as your preschooler or toddler desires.

I have also been working on addition with my preschooler so we extended the activity by using the dice and printable as a visual to discuss each addition fact as she rolled the dice.

If you want to use the game in a preschool or kindergarten classroom setting, I recommend laminating the printable and wool pieces to make them more durable for multiple child-use.
