Patriotic Stars Count and Clip Cards

As Memorial Day, 4th of July, or any patriotic holiday draw near we are ready to pull out our best red, white, and blue activities. Putting a seasonal twist on our learning activities can make them that much more engaging for kids. These patriotic stars count and clip cards are perfect to have on hand for any patriotic holiday, or any time you want to work on counting sets!

Patriotic Stars Count and Clip Cards

My kids absolutely love clothespin activities (we even have them for the entire year!) I love that they not only build essential skills, but develop fine motor as well with the pinching of clothespins.

To get these cards ready, I laminated them, cut them out, and placed them in a small basket with clothespins for a math center.

I played this game first with a small intervention group who was working on building up their one to one correspondence.

We each grabbed a card, counted up the stars, and then found the matching number. After deciding together if it was correct, we clipped the numbers with clothespins.

We counted and clipped until not one star remained!
