We’re back with more subitizing fun! We’ve teamed up with Pre-K Teacher Carolyn Steveson to create this fun freebie that helps preschoolers work on subitizing — the concept of being able to determine the number of items in a set without counting. You can find the link to download your own copy of Cookie Jar Subitizing at the bottom of the page.

This is a fantastic activity for small groups or one-on-one play.

Ahead of time, print out the cookie jar image and one or more copies of the cookies. Laminate, cut out the cookies and provide one die for each child.

Each of the 30 cookies is marked with between 1-6 chocolate chips. To play, a child rolls a die, determines the number, then selects a cookie with the same number of chips.

Each of the cookies’ chips are arranged differently than traditional dot arrangements found on dice. This activity helps children work on set identification without having to count each dot.

Let us know your thoughts!
