8 Free Printables for Counting Practice

We’re in for a treat to have Anna from The Measured Mom here today! I got to know Anna over a year ago and have always been so impressed with her blog. She has hundreds of free printables on her blog! She is an awesome resource for parents and teachers. Thank you Anna for being here today!!

I’m so thankful that God has recently blessed Angela’s family with precious baby Lincoln! I’m honored to be guest posting here at Teaching Mama while Angela adjusts to life as a mama of three.

A few months ago, my two-year-old was playing hide and seek with his older siblings. I heard him call from the closet, “1, 2, 4, 9, 7, here I come!” Then today, as he sat on my lap, I heard him count to ten for the first time! When kids can count by rote, it’s time to help them make numbers meaningful by teaching them to count real objects. Counting groups of objects past two can be difficult for toddlers and young preschoolers. Thankfully, there are so many fun ways to learn! Today I’m sharing a round up of free counting printables for preschoolers. Have fun!
