Preschool Holiday Counting and Circling

Preschoolers will have fun learning how to identify odd items in groups of holiday-themed illustrations. Preschoolers will first circle each different item in its group and then write the total number of each holiday item on the line at the end of each group. Grown-ups should also participate in this activity, guiding and coaching their preschooler with identifying, circling, counting, and writing as young children improve their fine-motor skill development.
