A simple St. Patrick's Day math activity tray for preschoolers and kindergarten aged kids.

I love putting together simple math trays for my boys, especially since they're always such a hit with them. 

This St. Patrick's Day math activity was no different. It lead to lots of counting, addition practice, stacking, sorting, and so much more for my four year old. It's really simple to set up as well!

This math tray was designed to encourage counting, addition, exploration of tally marks, and measurement using St. Patrick's Day themed materials. Here's what we used:

  • Measuring tape
  • Shamrocks - Ours are from the dollar store!
  • Green transparent cocktail stirrers - Also from the dollar store!
The tray itself looked divine and inviting, right? Math has never looked so pretty!

Four year old K loved to roll the die and count out the appropriate number of materials. Sometimes he would roll a couple of dice and add the materials accordingly.

But I think K was most fond of the coins. He stacked them into towers and then sorted them by color (there were gold coins and green coins).
