50+ Number Activities for Preschoolers

These number activities for preschoolers include many fun, engaging, and hands-on ways to explore numbers with young children. If you’re looking for math activities for preschoolers and kindergartners that focus on numbers, you’ve come to the right place!

Below, you’ll find a variety of preschool number activities to suit your needs. They let kids practice early math skills like number recognition, number formation, one-to-one correspondence, and counting. There are even a variety of number printables perfect for early childhood classrooms.

And all of the number activities take into account how young children learn. So the ideas encourage hands-on exploration with numbers and manipulatives.

Coming up, you’ll find all of the number-related activities from Fun-A-Day. I’ll keep adding to the list as I share more here with you, so be sure to pop back and check.

Click on the links that interest you the most, and be sure to save your favorite ones! I’ve started a new Numbers Pinterest board if that’s where you like saving links.

These number activities will help you teach a variety of important early math skills, like:

• One-to-one correspondence
• Number identification
• Number formation
• Matching numerals to quantities
• Numerical order
• Skip counting
• Subitizing

We can’t talk about number activities for preschoolers without touching on counting, right? The links below can all be used to practice concepts like those listed above.

While each of these are different math skills, they’re very much interrelated. And, depending on the ages and needs of your students, you will focus on different ones with the following ideas.

Of course, there will be more coming in the future, and I’ll be sure to add the links then.

As promised, I also have some printables to add to this collection of number activities for preschoolers! While I’m not a fan of preschool worksheets, that usually only serve one purpose, I do rather like printables that can be used multiple ways.

In fact, I have over 40 number printables perfect for preschool and kindergarten classrooms! You can check them out by clicking on the link below:

Free Preschool Number Printables

Like the non-printable number ideas, these printables have been used with kids in both preschool and kindergarten. And they’re all great ways to explore early math concepts. Here are a few of my favorites:

• Rainbow Yarn Sensory Bin (with printable rainbow and gold ten frames)
• Printable Bat Emergent Reader (that’s all about counting bats)
• Snowman Roll and Cover

Okay, I’ll stop there. Since there are so many printable number activities for preschoolers, it’s best if you click through the link above. That way you can find just the right one for you and your kids!

Okay, okay. So I didn’t stop there. Because I wanted to highlight a subset of the number printables. And those are the calendar numbers!

I highly recommend that you grab a few sets for yourself. You can use the number cards in SO MANY ways! They’re super easy to prep, and the illustrations allow for some whimsy throughout the year. Click on the link below to check them out:

Calendar Numbers

I have quite a few more planned out for the upcoming year. So be sure to save that post, too. That way you can get your hands on them as soon as they’re ready!

Since I mentioned above the various skills these number activities for preschoolers can cover, I thought we’d chat a bit about what the terms mean.

We, as adults, tend to use the term “counting” to cover a few different bases. When it comes to early math, counting means determining the total number of items in a particular group.

Some examples of counting:

• Holding up a finger for each year in a child’s age and counting them out loud. “One, two, three, four.”
• Placing toy cars out on the table and counting them along the way.
• Looking at five kids in line and counting them 1 through 5, sequentially.

So counting includes both numbers and sets of items. And the understanding that the last number said is the total of the items in the group.

If you’re here, you’re likely a teacher or caregiver of a young child. No doubt you’ve experienced said child practicing their counting (sometimes over and over and over again, right?!).

That’s rote counting – saying the numbers in order. Specifically, rote counting is reciting numbers in order (from memory). There are no specific objects being counted. The numbers are being said out loud in sequential order.

And, as with most things when it comes to young children, there are a few steps along the way to true rote counting. From toddlers saying, “One, three, nine . . .” to preschoolers counting to 20 but skipping 15, children work their way up to counting out loud.

One-to-one correspondence is the understanding that every object in a group can only be counted once; that every number corresponds with a specific quantity. It can also be explained as matching one item to one corresponding item or number.

This understanding is developed with lots of playful practice, in many different hands-on ways. Some examples of one-to-one correspondence in early childhood:

• Putting a counting bear on top of a toy block – “I have one bear and one block!”
• Placing manipulatives in a ten-frame, one frame at a time, with only one manipulative per square
• Touching one toy at a time while saying the corresponding number out loud
• Moving beads on a string as they’re being counted
• Pointing to kids in line, one by one, and counting along the way
• Counting each time a child hops on one foot

Most of the number activities for preschoolers included in this post can be used for counting with one-to-one correspondence. The activities help children move from rote counting to rational counting.

One-to-one correspondence helps children learn that each number corresponds to a specific quantity. Using things like magnetic numbers or printable number cards can help kids move forward with corresponding quantities with numerals.

For example, you might place one of the calendar numbers on the table. It’s the numeral 5. Then your students can count out 5 Unifix cubes, one at a time, counting each one only once. So many early math skills are very much intertwined, so kids are exploring multiple concepts with each of the number activities for preschoolers.

Now that we’ve delved into all the fun number activities for preschoolers you can try out soon, let’s chat supplies. You don’t really have to have a certain type of material to teach kids about numbers. In fact, that’s one of the great things about preschool math – you can use items on-hand or already in your environment.

But, if you are looking for some suggestions, I’ve got you covered (I may get commissions for purchases made through links in this post):

• Jumbo number magnets
• Counting bears
• Unifix cubes
• Sandpaper numerals

Kennels in the UK

This manual is intended for local government inspectors in England. You should read it in conjunction with the Animal Welfare (Licensing Activities Involving Animals) Regulations (England) 2018.

To decide whether an activity is regulated and requires a license to operate, you should consider all of the following guidelines.

All dog kennel activities require a license if carried out as a commercial business.

To decide if an activity is a business and a license is required, consider if the operator:

• makes any sales or activities for profit
• earns any commission or fee from
activity

You must also consider the 9 HMRC trade badges.

If someone has a trading income below the HMRC Trading Income Allowance, they do not need a license to operate.

If someone has a trading income above the HMRC Trading Income Allowance, they do not automatically qualify as a business.

To be within the limits, they must:

• provide accommodation for other dogs if the provision of this accommodation is part or exclusively of a business
• Organize accommodation for other people's dogs - for example, businesses that connect pet owners with people who want to look after their animals for free, at low cost - they must meet the conditions specified in appendices 2 and 4 of the rules.

Each business must maintain an up-to-date list of all of its premises where they carry out activities subject to LAIA 2018 rules .

Activities that meet one or more of the following criteria do not require a license:

• veterinary practices where the accommodation provided is part of the animal's veterinary care
• companies that provide day care for dogs and do not leave them overnight - they belong to the field of day care for dogs.

Minimum standards

All businesses are expected to meet and maintain minimum standards. If you find minor deficiencies during the renewal review that do not violate welfare standards, use a risk-based approach to renew your license.

In order to grant a new animal license to keep dogs in a kennel, you must ensure that businesses meet all of the minimum standards outlined in this guide.

Higher standards

Businesses meeting the higher standards will receive 4 or 5 stars in the Animal Activity Rating System.

Higher standards are mandatory or optional. To achieve a higher ranking, dog walking businesses need to achieve:

• 100% of required higher standards
• at least 50% additional higher standards

If a business meets higher standards, it may qualify for a longer license, valid for 2 or 3 years rather than one year. This reduces the cost of the license.

See Animal Licensing Process: Regulatory Guide for Local Authorities, which explains the star rating system for animal activities and how it includes business risk assessment.

Part A - General Conditions (Appendix 2 of the Regulations)

The point numbers refer to the conditions in the appendices of the rules.

2.0 Records

2.1 The license holder must ensure that at all times all records which the license holder is required to keep as a condition of the license are available for inspection by an inspector in a visible and legible form or, if such records are kept in electronic form, in a form from which they can be easily obtained in a visible and legible form.

2.2 The license holder must keep all such records for at least 3 years from the date the record was created.

Electronic records must be backed up.

3.0 Use, number and type of animals

3.1 No animals or animal species, other than those animals and animal species specified in the license, may be used in relation to the relevant licensed activity.

• corresponding person in local government
• police
• suitable animal protection organization

3. 2 The number of animals kept for an activity at any time shall not exceed a reasonable maximum, taking into account premises and personnel in any premises used for a licensed activity.

The terms of the license must clearly state the number of dogs kept for the licensed activity permitted in the territory. Undeclared numbers would be a license violation, especially if not reflected in staffing increases.

In considering what is reasonable, consideration should be given to where other dogs are kept in the licensed facility that do not participate in the licensed activity but are cared for by the same staff, which could affect the facilities and staff (e.g. pets and dogs - pensioners).

4.0 Personnel

4.1 There must be a sufficient number of people competent for the purpose to provide a level of care that satisfies the welfare needs of all animals.

• room layout (number of dogs allowed in each area)
• dog type
• qualifications and experience of employees
• additional services offered by the establishment
• use of temporary staff or volunteers
• local government veterinary advice

4. 2 The license holder or designated manager and any personnel employed to care for animals must be competent to determine the normal behavior of the animals they care for and to recognize signs and take appropriate action to mitigate or prevent pain, suffering, injury , illness or abnormal behavior

You should consider training records as evidence of proper induction training for staff in the following areas:

• animal welfare, including recognition of poor welfare
• animal handling
• animal behavior
• cleanliness and hygiene
• feeding and cooking
• disease prevention and control
• recognition and first aid for sick or injured animals

Dog care staff must:

• hold an official qualification, such as a Regulated Qualification Level 2 of Qualifications and Examinations ( Ofqual ), corresponding to their role
• show that they have relevant and sufficient knowledge and experience

If there is no accredited training course suitable for the activity, then other evidence of training must be provided, such as courses developed by industry.

Recipients of Regulated Qualification Ofqual must qualify within 12 months and qualify within 2 years.

4.3 The licensee must provide and enforce a written training policy for all personnel.

The staff training policy must be reviewed and updated every year.

It must include:

• annual estimate
• planned and continuing professional development
• recognition of gaps in knowledge

This applies to all employees, including the license holder.

Staff participation can be demonstrated:

• records of the courses they take
• written or online learning records
• be aware of any breed-specific research or development
• annual appraisal documents

Evidence of staff attendance or training must be provided.

Higher staff standard required

a) their behavioral needs

(b) its location, space, air quality, cleanliness and temperature

(c) water quality (where applicable)

(d) noise levels

(e) light levels

(e) ventilation

Dogs should not be confined to areas where climatic conditions may cause them stress. Insulation and temperature control in the kennels should aim to keep the temperature in any part of the sleeping area above an absolute minimum of 10°C and below a maximum of 26°C.

Dogs should be supervised to see if they are too hot or too cold. If an individual dog shows signs of heat or cold intolerance, steps must be taken to ensure the dog's well-being. The dog must be able to move away from a direct source of heat.

All interior spaces must be adequately ventilated without excessive local drafts and excessive moisture.

Heaters and electrical equipment must not be located in a manner or location where they present a burn or electric shock hazard to dogs or people, or a fire hazard.

Dogs should be exposed to natural light for at least part of the day.

5.3 Personnel must ensure that animals are kept clean and comfortable.

Each occupied kennel must be cleaned at least daily.

Dogs must be removed from the area during cleaning.

Dogs should benefit from appropriate regular grooming and other health regimes as needed and in agreement with the owner. For example, cleaning the eyes or preventing tangles in long hair. This should include attention to the coat, teeth, ears and nails, as well as an examination for parasites.

5.4 Where appropriate for the view, lavatory space and lavatory facilities should be provided.

Dogs should have regular opportunities throughout the day to go to the toilet based on individual needs.

Nurseries must be inspected daily and kept clean in accordance with the facility's cleaning and disinfection procedures.

Kennels must be disinfected at least once a week and when changing guests.

Faeces should be removed from all areas as often as necessary, but in any case at least twice a day. If a pest problem is identified, a control program should be implemented.

5.6 Animals must be transported and handled in such a way as to protect them from pain, suffering, injury and disease. This includes consideration of housing, temperature, ventilation and frequency.

All animals must be transported in accordance with the rules established by applicable law.

The license holder must demonstrate the availability of a suitable vehicle for transporting dogs. It does not have to be owned by the license owner.

Dogs must be restrained during transport to avoid injury using any of the following:

• dog crate
• transport piping
• guard dog

Dog crates must be of the appropriate size to allow the dog to stand, lie down and turn freely. Drawers should be designed to provide good ventilation and be securely fastened.

Vehicles must be cleaned and disinfected after each collection and delivery of any dogs.

Dogs must not be left in vehicles for unreasonable periods of time and must never be left unattended in a car or other vehicle where the temperature may be dangerous to the animal. Consideration should be given to the need to transport animals when the temperature is dangerous.

Adequate breaks should be provided for water, food if necessary, and access to the toilet.

Dogs should be transported to veterinary facilities in accordance with their condition, ensuring that transport does not cause additional suffering. Before transport, you should consult with a veterinarian about the condition of the animal and suitability for transport.
