Teacher guide for Animal Counting Coloring Pages

A helping hand

For the grown-ups.

The included guide brings the activity together with prompts, instructions and answer notes where needed.

  • Start with 3 or 4 animals. Offer 8 and 10 when the child is ready.
  • An adult may write the child's spoken total. Counting each animal once matters more than neat numerals.
  • Ask, 'How do you know you counted them all?' Colors are the child's choice.
