Get kids thinking about skip counting which will help them learn their multiplication tables more easily. These skip counting cards get kids skip counting and makes it easy for them to do so without giving up. If they don't know the answer they can count the items to find the correct answer.

Thanksgiving Skip Counting Cards

Print out the cards onto paper or card stock if you'd like them to be more durable. If you'd like them to last, I suggest you laminate them or cover them in contact paper. Cut them up and mix them up.
Have your child follow along the skip counting pattern, if they can't figure it out, they can count the number of items on the card. They can clip the correct answer with a clothespin or place a counting chip on top of the answer.



To extend this activity, read your favorite Thanksgiving books, get your children thinking about Thanksgiving and gratitude by serving your community. Bake cookies for your local police station or firefighters, visit a nursery home or make a meal for an elderly neighbor. Have kids write down things that they are grateful for and display them so the whole family can be reminded of each other's thankfulness.

My daughter loves puzzles, so if she can do a math activity without only using workbooks, she's in heaven. This means that they're not worrying about writing down their answers but they're still learning at the same time.

Use these printables for little ones who are learning to count up to 20, or skip count by 2, 3, 4, 5 and 10.

Print out the puzzles onto card stock or paper, then cover with contact paper or laminate them, this will allow you to re-use them. Cut them up and store each one in a Ziploc bag or container. I like to wrap each puzzle together in an elastic so I can easily sort them out when I need them.
