If you read the adorable book The Kissing Hand, by Aurdrey Penn, you're familiar with Chester an anxious little raccoon.  Since he is such an endearing character for children, I thought I'd incorporate him into some fun hand's-on shape games and activities. 
This packet will be FREE for an entire year, after which time it will be included in my jumbo Kissing Hand (Raccoon-Themed) Shape Packet available in my TpT shop.  Click on the link to pop on over.

This is a wonderful extension after reading The Kissing Hand by Audrey Penn.  The packet includes large 8x10 number cards from 0-10, with a blank one to program with higher numbers.  Use these as flashcards or to play games with.  There's also a 0-10 mini booklet for students to trace, write and put lipstick-ers on, to show "how many" in the group/set, along with a blank page to reinforce larger numbers.  There are also trace and write worksheets for numbers 0-100.
