Christmas Tree Counting Activity For Kids

Creating fun activities is easy; you need to look at what you have around your home to create them.

We love doing crafts, so I always have tons of craft materials, and if I see them on sale or something catches my attention, I’ll purchase them and save them for another time.

I got these cute chalk clothespin trees at Target about a month ago in their dollar section! How cute are they?

Not only will they be perfect for my counting activity, but my daughter will also practice her fine motor skills as she plays the game.

Here are the materials I used to create this fun Christmas Counting Game

• Chalk clothespin trees from Target (they had several different designs)
• Red and green popsicle sticks
• Craft glue
• Silver and gold glitter
• Chalk 

How To Make Christmas Math Activity

• To create the counting popsicles, I took jumbo-colored popsicles in red and green, then added my counting dots. My daughter was pretending that the dots were ornaments, and she was pairing the numbers on the tree with the number of ornaments on the sticks.
• Add craft glue dots to your stick, and then sprinkle with glitter. Allow drying completely before playing.
• Write numbers on your chalk tree clothespin and let your child enjoy a fun counting Christmas activity.

You can easily turn this into an adding or subtracting game as well. Use your popsicle sticks as the numbers in your mathematical sentence and have your child write the number on the chalk tree, then attach it to the two sticks that add to the answer. 

Just look around your home and see what fun games you can create with what you have at home.
