If You Give a Mouse a Cookie Counting Cards

The simple humor in Laura Numeroff’s whitty children’s books makes them fun for kids and grown ups alike.

After reading the classic If You Give a Mouse a Cookie a few days ago, I pulled out a little surprise for my kids: a set of cookie counting cards in serious need of some chocolate chips. They were THRILLED with the challenge and eagerly got to work.

I hope your kids love the freebie, too!  You’ll love our Number Formation Pack, too!

Getting Ready

I printed the “If You Give a Mouse a Cookie” counting cardson cardstock to give them extra durability and make the colors really pop.

Then I cut them apart and grabbed a bag of chocolate chips from the pantry.

Big Brother {age 5} was ready to jump right into teen numbers so he grabbed eleven and started adding the chips.

Since Middle Brother {age 3.5} was still practicing reading numbers and counting one object at a time, I had him start with the number 1, then move on to number 2 and so on.

One card after another, the boys read {snacked} and counted their way to better number sense.
