Fall is officially upon us. It’s the season of candy corn and corn mazes! So why not get some number practice in with this preschool corn counting activity?
This simple preschool activity allows your child to practice their counting by adding the correct number of ears of corn to corn stalks.
You can either use the paper ears of corn on the printable provided or add a little extra fun to the activity by using candy corn!

First, download and print out the free corn counting printable at the bottom of this page.
To make the corn stalk mat more durable, print on cardstock paper or laminate the pages.

Using the paper ears of corn
If you want to use the paper ears of corn provided, print out the printable and cut out the ears of corn.

This preschool counting activity kept my son entertained for a long time while he carefully cut out each piece of corn and glued it in its place.
And if your child is like mine, they will be so pleased with their efforts when they finish and see their full field of corn!
