Hot Chocolate Count and Color Activity
Hot chocolate count and color activity pages are an easy way to practice early counting skills without adding extra prep to your day. If you already use simple math pages, like these preschool counting worksheets, this set fits right into that routine.
These pages work well during winter themes, snow days, or anytime you want a quiet table activity that still feels purposeful. I like having something ready that we can pull out without planning ahead or gathering a pile of supplies.
They are designed to be clear and simple, so your preschooler knows exactly what to do once you sit down together.
