Number Matching Christmas Tree

We’re back with one last Christmas activity you can do with dot stickers. So far we’ve shared easy Christmas crafts, color matching, and ABC matching ideas. The last activity we did was to practice number recognition and counting with this number matching Christmas tree.

Using the same Christmas tree cutout and removable dot stickers I labeled one set of stickers with the numbers 1-9. The other set of stickers was labeled with dot sets from 1-9.  I placed the stickers with dots on the Christmas tree and left the set out for Lovey to match.

It was a quick and festive way to incorporate a little number recognition into our holiday activities.

This is the last of the learning activities we’re doing with dot stickers for now, but there are many other variations you could try. If you do any, I’d love to hear about them.

Less stress, more connecting this holiday season? Yes, PLEASE!

From the arrival of fall to Halloween to Thanksgiving and Christmas, the last four months of the year can be a wonderful opportunity for making family memories and spending time together, but they can also be stressful as we try to collect ideas, recipes, and activities to try together.

Stephanie Morgan, founder of Modern Parents Messy Kids, a site that’s been voted Best Craft Blog in Parents Magazine and one of babble.com’s Top 50 Craft Mom Blogs, recently released a new eBook to help us have a little less stress and more time to connect with family this year, and I’m so glad to be an affiliate for such a great resource.

Stephanie’s goal is to make it easier on all of us to enjoy the holidays with our kids. Hands-On Holidays is 100 pages full of her family’s very favorite ways to connect as a family over the holiday season. I love the convenience of having so many ideas in one place, and most of them are simple enough for even my toddler to participate in.

The book includes picture book suggestions, DIY decor, activities, and treats. Bonus sections also offer even more ideas to enjoy. Click here to view more details.
