Cut out the do-a-dot cards; set a few of the cards in your maths station. Give the children do-a-dot markers. The cards have the numeric number on the upper left corner. Allow the children to identify the number and to find the matching numbers on the pumpkin. Allow the children to dot the matches. Example: If the card has number 10, the children should find all number 10’s and place a dot on each number 10 on the pumpkin. Help children find the correct number to dot if they need help. The cards also have the number word at the bottom; the word is dotted. Children may trace the number word, or they may dot the word with dot markers.
Do-A-Dot cards are numbered 1 - 10. The cards come in both small or large card options; choose whichever works best in your classroom. This activity provides opportunity for maths skills practice, fine motor skills practice, and even some literacy skills practice.

Print and cut all the cards out along the borders. For Holiday pre-writing cards, the cards come in different sizes with variations of pre-writing marks. There are also blank cards with graphics only. Place whichever cards you choose in your literacy station along with writing utensils. Allow children to trace the various marks. Allow children to use the blank cards to make their own pre-writing marks. This is good for fine motor as well as pre-writing practice.
For Holiday do-a-dot letters, pick which cards you want to use. Place the cards in your literacy station. Place washable dot markers in your literacy center. Allow children to dot the letters with the markers. Encourage children to say the name of the letters aloud. This also helps with fine motor skills in addition to letter recognition.
For Holiday 1 to 1 correspondence, the cards have numbers and number words. The cards also have a unicorn and a number of cupcakes that match the number on the card. Place the cards in your maths station. Give the children foam stickers that can represent candy. The stickers can be candy stickers, or they can just be glittery circle stickers. Tell the children that they need to decorate the unicorn’s Holiday cupcake with candies. Allow the children to stick one sticker on each cupcake on the card. Encourage the children to touch the foam stickers then count each number to figure out the end number.
For Holiday roll a number, place this card in your maths station. Allow the children to roll dice. Allow children to count the dots on the dice that they rolled. Allow children decorate the Holiday cupcake with candies. Allow children to place the correct amount of foam stickers on the Holiday cupcake.
