Number Ten Frames Q-Tip Painting Directions:
- Download and print the free Ten Frame Number Painting Printable.
- Grab some Q-Tips and paint for your child to use! I highly recommend using washable paints! We love using these and sometimes you can even find them individually at The Dollar Tree!
- Next, it’s a good idea to show your child how to use the Q-Tip to paint dots. Usually when children paint, they are using the paint brush to make strokes instead of dots. This movement is a little bit different, so it’s worth taking the time to teach!
- Complete the Ten Frame Q-Tip Painting activity by filling in each ten frame with the correct number of painted dots! For extra practice, go back and count each ten frame together! You can also check out this post, Free Printable Ten Frame Cards and Activities for more practice!
