On the first night, I saw 5 stars in the desert. On the second night, I saw 10… What do you think I saw on the third night? Combine arts and crafts, literacy, and math by making a counting book. The activity comes with suggestions for what to count by, depending on level of challenge needed. Younger learners can count forward or backward by 1’s; older learners can base their counting books on multiples, fractions, or other number patterns.
