Snowman Button Counting 1 to 10

¿cuántos botones?

Ten snowmen, a jar of big buttons, and counting that actually sticks. The real skill is one button on each dot. That's how counting starts, more than saying the numbers out loud.

You need

The printed snowman cards, a small jar of big buttons, and a tray or plate to keep them on. Tongs for Stretch.

Make it yours

Swap buttons for pom-pom snowballs, or let them draw a hat on each snowman they finish.

Safety: buttons are small. Use big buttons only, stay at the table, and put them back in a jar with a lid.
