Watermelon Seed Counting

This is a wonderful activity to work on one-to-one correspondence, fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination.

Materials

Using the four corners of the red paper, cut a “wedge” of watermelon.
Trace the same length in the green construction paper for the “skin” of the watermelon.
Glue the "skin" and your "wedge" together.
Laminate and cut out.
Set them out and write a number on each.
Encourage your child to add the same amount of black beans, aka “seeds,” to each slice.
Erase them and begin again!
