Pumpkin Counting Cards with Seeds

To prepare this activity, just print and cut the pumpkin number cards. Laminate if you will be reusing this year after year. Children can use pumpkin seeds as counters to place on the pumpkins. Pumpkin seeds in the shell can be purchased or save them when you cut a pumpkin.

If you need an alternative to seeds, you can use flat floral marbles, pumpkin seeds cut from craft foam or felt, candy corn, mini erasers, or other items.

For this activity, children will identify the numeral on each pumpkin and count out the correct amount of pumpkin seeds to place on each pumpkin.

You will find two sets of Pumpkin Counting Printables. One set has pumpkins with numbers 1-6 on one sheet. You can cut these apart or leave them as one mat. The other set has pumpkins with numbers 1-12.
