Learn with Printable Watermelon Counting Cards

Preschool kids can play by choosing a card and identifying the number on it. They can then count out the corresponding numbers of “seeds” (beans or buttons) to place on the watermelon slice.

A lot of skills are being worked on at once with these counting cards so you may want to start by limiting the number of cards you put in the busy bag. You don’t want your child to feel frustrated, just challenged. You can add more as they as their learning progresses.

Once your child gets good at using the watermelon counting cards don’t get rid of them! You can save them for addition and subtraction practice. They can choose two cards to add (or subtract) and use the “seeds” to help them check their work.
