Counting and Numeral Recognition – Bubble Wrap Jumping

Materials

Roll of bubble wrap (approximately 6 feet long)
Large construction paper shapes with a numeral written on each shape (we used heart shapes)
Packing tape
Permanent marker
Scissors

Directions

Securely tape bubble wrap to the floor or carpet. Cut out construction paper shapes. Write numerals on shapes and tape them to the bubble wrap, one numeral per shape. Place the shapes in numerical order to encourage younger children to practice counting, or place numerals in random order to encourage numeral recognition. Invite your child to jump on the numerals, saying the name of each one. 

This is a great activity that gets your child moving and jumping.  They love the popping sound that they make with their feet!
