Easter Math Centers - Jelly Bean Measuring & More!
We recently stumbled across Monkeyin' Around and had to share some of the fantastic Easter printables we found! Created by Karen, stay-at-home mom and in-home childcare provider, we know these worksheets will be a great addition to your holiday activities!
Jelly Bean Measuring
This activity offers your kiddos an opportunity to practice nonstandard measuring {and provides them with a sweet snack, of course!}. Simply provide students with a worksheet and a cup of jelly beans, inviting them to use their festive manipulatives to measure and record the length {in jelly beans units} of each object on the printable.
Easter Egg Counting
Invite your students to practice counting and numeral recognition with this colorful Easter egg themed worksheet. Have students circle the correct answer or you might also consider...
- ...strengthening fine motor skills by having students clip a clothespin to the correct answer.
- ...creating a science connection by inviting students to cover the answer with the sticker of an animal that hatches from an egg.
- ...reinforcing one-to-one correspondence by having students place a jelly bean on each egg as they count, then simply use a jelly bean manipulative to cover the correct answer.
These are just two of the four awesome activities Karen offers {FREE!} over at her blog, so be sure to head over to Monkeyin' Around!
