Carrot Counting Activity for Toddlers

Total Time: 15-20 minutes

Supplies:

• construction paper - orange, green, and a color for the background
• tape
• scissors
• black marker

Steps:

1. Cut 5 triangle shapes to resemble carrots.

 
2. Line up the triangle carrots. Then, tape the 2 triangle edges onto construction paper to create the pocket where the leaves will go in.

 

 
3. Cut strips of green paper. Then, cut into pieces. These will be the carrot leaves your toddler will put into the carrot pockets. You will need 15 pieces, maybe some extras if you want in case your toddler loses them. When your toddler is more advanced you can throw extras in to see if your toddler knows those are extras. :)

4. Number the carrots 1 to 5 with a pen.

 
5. It is ready for your toddler to play with. On the back of the construction paper you can make a little pocket to store the green leaves or place the green leaves in a zip lock bag and store together with a clip so as not to lose the pieces.
