These counting activities for 4 year olds teach counting through play. Including ideas for busy bags, playdough mats and board games. 

Four year olds are learning at a rapid pace. From numbers, shapes and letters to social-emotional development, they are absorbing information all the time. These counting activities for 4 year olds are fun ways to practice counting through play. 

 

Counting Activities for 4 Year Olds

Learning how to count is the basis for learning early math such as addition and subtraction. When counting, children learn number order and understand the concept of high and low numbers. 

Teaching counting can happen naturally through every day activities. When outside, point out 3 trees and count them, or ask your child how many toy cars he/she is playing with. 

If you are looking for more structured activities with counting as a central component, we have 8 on this site that children will love. 

Busy bags, playdough mats and board games are all ways that children can practice counting through play. These are so much fun, they won’t even know they are learning!

  6. Simple Fine Motor Snowball Counting
  7. Apple Playdough Mats: Numbers 1-10 Free Printable
