COOKIE COUNTING GAME – PRINTABLE PRESCHOOL MATH ACTIVITY 🍪

Turn early math practice into a fun cookie game!
This printable Cookie Counting Game helps children practice number recognition, counting, visual matching, and early math skills through a simple hands-on activity.
Choose a challenge card, look at the numbers on the grid, and place the matching cookies in the correct spaces. Each cookie has a different number of chocolate chips, so children need to count the chips and match the cookie to the correct number.
A playful way to practice numbers without worksheets!

PLEASE NOTE: THIS IS A DIGITAL DOWNLOAD. NO PHYSICAL PRODUCT WILL BE SHIPPED.
You are purchasing a PDF file to download, print, cut, and prepare yourself. The printed and laminated game shown in the listing photos is an example of the finished activity and is not a physical product you will receive.

WHAT YOU WILL RECEIVE
Your purchase includes:
• 1 printable PDF file
• 4 pages
• Full-color design
• Printable cookie tray
• Cookies representing numbers 1–9
• Multiple challenge cards with different number arrangements
• Ready to print and prepare at home
Once printed and cut out, the same cookies and tray can be used again and again with the different challenge cards.

HOW TO PLAY
Choose a challenge card and place it next to the cookie tray.
Each number on the card shows where a cookie should go and how many chocolate chips that cookie should have.
For example, if a space shows 5, the child finds the cookie with 5 chocolate chips and places it in the corresponding position on the tray.
Continue until all of the numbered spaces on the challenge card have been completed.
Children are practicing counting and number recognition while also having to pay attention to where each cookie belongs on the grid.

WHAT CHILDREN PRACTICE
This activity combines several early learning skills in one simple game:
• Counting 1–9 – count the chocolate chips on each cookie
• Number recognition – identify the numbers shown on the challenge cards
• Number-to-quantity matching – connect a written numeral with the corresponding quantity
• Visual discrimination – distinguish between cookies with different quantities
• Spatial awareness – place each cookie in the correct position on the grid
• Attention & concentration – carefully follow the challenge card
• Fine motor skills – pick up, move, and position the cookie pieces
• Independent problem solving – work out which cookie belongs in each space
It’s a hands-on alternative to traditional number worksheets and allows children to learn through play.

WHO IS IT FOR?
This printable counting activity is designed for young learners working on early number skills.
Great for:
• Preschool learning
• Pre-K activities
• Kindergarten math
• Homeschool
• Math centers
• Busy binders
• Morning activities
• Quiet time
• Learning through play
• One-on-one practice with a parent or teacher
Because the activity uses simple numbers and visual quantities rather than written instructions, children can play without needing to read.

WHAT YOU’LL NEED
To prepare your Cookie Counting Game, you will need:
• A printer
• Paper
• Scissors
Optional:
• Laminator
• Laminating pouches
Laminating is not required, but it can make the pieces more durable for repeated use.
For best results, I recommend printing on matte photo paper or cardstock (180–220 gsm). Regular printer paper can also be used, especially if you plan to laminate the activity.

PRINTING
This is a printable DIY activity that you prepare yourself at home.
Simply:
Download → Print → Cut → Play! 🍪
When printing, select “Fit to Page” or “Fit to Printable Area” in your printer settings.
Please note that colors may vary slightly depending on your screen, printer, ink, and paper.
