6 and 7 year olds are just starting the process of building their math skills, starting with number recognition, tally marks, counting by 5s and eventually addition and subtraction. If your 7 year old is still an Elf on the Shelf believer, treat them to a fun activity sheet that helps them practice their math skills. Leave this for them one morning so they can do it after breakfast or save until after school.
My girls LOVE when our Elf, Margo, brought them a craft, activity or special treat in the morning. This year with a second grader at home, I wanted to mix the magic of the holiday season with an activity that will help her practice her skills.
This sneaky elf, Margo, will be bringing this color by number math activity sheet one slow (probably weekend) morning. The sheet includes areas where the user must first use their addition and subtraction skills to solve the math problem.
Then they can grab their crayons or colored pencils and color each block in the designated color.
The sheet mixes basic addition and math skills between numbers 1 – 20, so chances are, with help, some younger kids might also be able to complete this activity. In the end, a reindeer design will be revealed and you’ll know they were practicing math without them even knowing!
This activity sheet is part of the Elf on the Shelf ideas for a 7 year old printable schedule that will be available soon! Make sure to get on the mailing list to get notice!
