Looking for a crafty way to check your students’ number sense? Then you need our dinosaur-themed counting to 10 craft!

 

Students will love the process of creating an adorable dinosaur and decorating it with spots or spikes. They will then need to count and record the number of spots or spikes on the included recording slip. We recommend providing a target number for students to count.

  In addition to detailed instructions and three cute display banners to choose from, this resource includes two printing options to suit the needs of your class:

1. A worksheet option that is ready to be adorned with spots or spikes.
2. A crafty cut-and-paste option with a backing template.

 

Please note that to create this eye-catching craft, you will need to provide craft items (this will vary depending on whether your students are making the spotty of spiky dinosaurs), such as paper plates, coloured cardstock, pom poms, buttons and cut-out circles or triangles.

 

Top Teacher Tips:

1. For a pop of colour, print the backing templates on coloured card.
2. Enlarge the backing and dinosaur templates to A3 and have students paint them prior to adding their spots or spikes.

 

Print and assemble one of the included banners to create a beautiful display of your students’ completed crafts!
