Winter Mitten Themed Counting and Tally Mark Activity

Perfect for winter or perhaps an addition to an author/book study of Jan Brett's "The Mitten", this colorful mitten themed activity will have your kiddos building counting and number recognition skills as well as practicing with tally marks!

While the activity can certainly be tailored to incorporate the numbers you and your students are currently working with, our activity works with numerals 1 through 10.

How To Complete The Mitten Counting and Tally Mark Activity

To complete the activity...

Invite students to select a mitten cutout from the bucket or envelope. After counting the polka dots on the mitten, have students color a mitten on the recording sheet to match, then record the appropriate numeral as well as show with tally marks how many polka dots were on the mitten. Have them repeat this process until they've emptied the bucket of mittens/their recording sheet is filled.
