When I design an activity I try to think of a variety of things students can do with it and this one really has the WOW factor.

It helps with reading, math, puzzle skills, strengthens fine motor muscles and is just plain fun!

Students can sequence them when they complete the puzzles, and trace everything with dry erase markers and then rub them clean with a damp cloth or wet wipe.

Make a double set on off white paper and have children partner up to play “Speed” against each other.

I’ve provided a blank set if you want to make sets for those tough teen numbers or make a set with upper and lowercase letters too.

I used a small snowflake punch for the buttons.  You could also use a hole punch, snowflake stickers, or those small dot stickers.

I included a spinner so that if you make enough for a class set, you can pass out the pieces for one complete snowman to each child.

Teacher spins the spinner or gives each student a chance to spin the spinner.  Whatever number it lands on the child with that number gets to assemble a piece of their snowman.  The first children with their snowman completed, wins the “Puzzled Snowman” game and receive a sticker!

There are matching number and number word cards as well.  Students practice matching the numbers to the words by playing a Memory Match game.

Children reinforce fine motor skills by tracing and cutting out the cards and enjoy making an Itty Bitty booklet to take home and share with their families.

They can also sort the cards by odd and even numbers, alphabetize the words and sequence the numbers.  Have them choose a partner and play “Speed” against them to see who can sort, match or sequence the fastest.
