Playdough Counting Activity Directions:
STEP 1: Make the flower.
Before you can start having fun counting with his playdough activity you need to make the flowers. To do this, make several flower stems from green playdough. Then use a second colour of playdough to form the centre of the flower.
STEP 2: Shape the petals.
Now it's time to add the petals. Tear off small pieces of playdough in your chosen colour and then shape each small piece of playdough to make it look like a flower's petal.
STEP 3: Add the numbers.
Now it is time to add the counting element to this playdough counting activity. Use number stamps to imprint numbers on the playdough that makes up the centre of each flower.
STEP 4: Number Playtime!
Now it's time to put this game into action! Choose a flower and look at the number stamped on the centre. Can your little one read the number? Use buttons or the playdough petals to add the coordinating number of petals to each of the flowers.
Toddlers and preschoolers will love this playdough counting activity, anything involving playdough is always a hit! I love how cute and eye-catching the playdough flowers are! We hope you and your children enjoy this counting activity just as much as we did!
