Matching Numbers

Matching Numbers

Counting Age 3-5

15 minutes

Description

Using your Stickerbox, print two sets of stickers: one set showing numbers (1, 2, 3, etc.) and another set showing corresponding quantities of objects (1 apple, 2 stars, 3 hearts, etc.). Mix each set into separate piles, one pile with numbers, one pile with objects. Have the child match each number sticker to its corresponding object sticker by counting and finding the correct pairs. 

Pro tip: For durability, stick each of them on index cards.

Try making:

  • Numbers 1-10 with colorful fruit or animal quantities
  • Numbers with seasonal items like snowflakes, leaves, or flowers
  • Themed sets like dinosaurs, ocean creatures, or farm animals
  • Skip counting sets (2, 4, 6, 8) with matching objects
