HALLOWEEN CANDY Color Sorting Center

$2.50

This is a Halloween themed color sorting activity for early preschool and toddlers. Children sort 36 pieces of candy (6 each of 6 colors) onto color-labeled candy buckets. The candies are various types, and various different shades of the colors. Red, green, yellow, blue, purple and orange.

I have included an unlabeled bucket so that several colors can be added to it. “Can you find a yellow candy and put it “in” the bucket?” I have also included b/w candies for the children to color, and a b/w bucket to make the activity more flexible. Write your own color names on these buckets.

If you would like to go wild with your colored ink, I have included a large orange bucket. You could print several of these and cut around the edges to make the buckets more life-like in the sorting activity. Perhaps they could be used to sort real wrapped candy?

Make a center or use for a small group learning activity. Print on cardstock for longer use.
The candies can also be used for counting, creating groups/sets, and collage art.

Subitizing Cards - Practice Instant Recognition of Number Groups 0-10 Christmas

$3.00

This is a set of Christmas-themed cards to use for subitizing activities, with a group or individual child. Print the cards on cardstock, and laminate for longest use.

For experienced subitizers, show 2 cards together, and they can create addition number stories.

IMPORTANT: Click on the preview photo and hover over it to see all pages.

In this resource, I have included sets of these Christmas themed items from 0-10, shown in various arrays and patterns:

• Wreaths
• Cupcakes

• Dots
• 10-frames
• Tally marks
• Dice
• Counting fingers

Use these cards as:

• flashcards,
