St Patricks Day Math

Put away the counting worksheets for a couple of days. Break out some fun holiday-themed, hands-on math activities for your preschool and kindergarten kiddos. 

These leprechauns are hungry, and your kids can fill them up with the lucky numbers they are hungry for! 

Here at Homeschool Preschool, I have a wide variety of math activities that are perfect for toddlers, preschoolers, and kindergarten kiddos. From worksheets to hands-on learning, I’ve got you covered. 

These leprechaun-themed number sense activities are perfect for the month of March and your St. Patrick’s Day activities.

Leprechaun Number Sense Activity

To use this activity with your preschoolers, print all of the pages on cardstock for durability. I also prefer to laminate my pages. This helps them hold up to busy little hands. 

Next, cut apart the number sense cards at the back (pages 12-14). Mix them up, and put them in a small basket. 

Have your child choose a leprechaun mat and identify the number word at the top. This is the number their leprechaun is hungry for.

Now, they’ll need to sort through the basket for all of the number cards that represent that number. They’ll be looking for tallies, ten frames, numerals, and sets of shamrocks.

If you’re working with younger preschoolers, you may want to start out with just two leprechaun mats and corresponding cards so they don’t get overwhelmed. 

As your little one demonstrates mastery, add in another number until you’ve got them working on the complete set.
