How to Decorate Numbers for Kindergarten
Identifying numbers around the house and in the classroom can give kindergartners a head start in counting and math. Decorating numbers gets kids creative while becoming familiar with numbers and their order, encouraging them to practice and learn basic math. After numbers are decorated, show off your kindergartners' work by hanging the numbers in order along the classroom wall or on the bulletin board.
