I love collecting acorns, don’t you? My kids love to put them in their sensory bins as well as use them as a manipulative. This year, however, it seems as if the squirrels have beat us to the punch and we will not be getting our usual haul- but that’s okay. These acorn clip cards were created to show our love of acorns- even if we didn’t get that many this year.

*These pair perfectly with our Pre-K Clip Cards and Kindergarten Clip Cards!

These acorn count and clip cards are perfect for preschoolers and kindergarteners to work on counting to 20 and building fine motor this fall!

Acorn Counting Clip Cards

Clip cards are so versatile and are always a hit with kids. Pinching and releasing clothespins is a great way to strengthen fine motor skills and those writing muscles.

Sometimes, however, that can be a challenge for kids and they may not be ready, so you can use the cards a little differently like we did!

First, I printed out the cards (below) on cardstock and laminated them for repeated use. After I cut them apart I placed them in a basket and had not only clothespins on hand, but some colored counters as well.

Colored counters are a great alternative for kids who may find clothespins to be a bit too hard to open and close. The picking up of the counters is still work for little fingers, but is a step before the strength needed for clothespins.

I sat with Caleb and showed him what had to be done. I slowly counted each acorn and then repeated the number.

Next, I placed the transparent counter on the correct number.

Once I was finished demonstrating, I allowed him to pick a card and then place a counter on the correct number.

We kept counting acorns and covering numbers together until all numbers 1-20 were complete!
