Owl Counting page

Let's Learn

What You Need

Paper - for the story sheet and words
Post-its - for the owls
Scissors
Glue Stick
Crayons
Clear Tape - to reinforce the strip and slots
Pencil

What To Do

Color a background of blue sky and grass. Add a tree.











Make and print the words for the owl story and number strip.
Cut out and glue the words to the story sheet. Cut the number strip on the dotted lines.

Apply clear tape to the number strip and the slit area. Insert the number strip into the cut slits and glue the number strip ends together.

This is a quick project. It does not have to be typed and printed. It can be handwritten. What is easiest for you and your child? Use what you have around the house.
The numbers rotate from 1 to 5. Put the owls in the tree to match the number selected on the strip. Say the rhyme and move the the number strip and owls to agree. Take turns with your child to move the owls to match the number selected. Then put the owls in the tree. Count them together and move the number strip to match the number of owls.



Draw 2 sets of eyes on the Post-its. Cut apart and color to make 5 owls.
