Ten Black Dots is one of our favorite counting centered children's books. It is simple yet helps so much. Many of these activities are math centered, specifically counting, graphing, sorting, etc. Some, though, include sensory and art elements. All of these activities are fun for kids and are a perfect way to connect to the amazing children's book Ten Black Dots.

Use Ten Black Dots by Donald Crews to inspire creative drawing with this simple art activity!
The kids and I recently discovered the book "Ten Black Dots" by Donald Crews. It is a fabulous book about all the different things you can make with dots. For example, "three dots can make a snowman's face" and "Five dots can make buttons on a coat". We bought some dot stickers from the supermarket and spent some time creating our own pictures. Jasmine made a flower. And a lady with a necklace. Alex made a volcano. We also made spotty cats and butterflies. What would you make with sticky dots?
Do you see how well loved this book is?!? We have a few books that are in need of replacements because they are so well loved. Caps for Sale and 10 Black Dots are two of those books that need replacing. Before we decide to upcycle this book, I wanted to give it one more…

Could you use a good Kindergarten Counting Activity? This one is a cinch to set up, and is lots of fun. Counting, subitizing, and even a bit of addition.
The first Investigation, I teach from my math curriculum book, is counting. The students explore many different hands-on stations giving them practice while counting. We also have a counting jar that's a year long station. This year I plan to read a lot more counting books. I hope to have students create and publish a counting book. Below are some lessons that connect to some familiar primary counting stories. I hope to post some counting songs and pocket chart stuff soon. You could give students precut black dots color the cubes and make an illustration The counting jar is a station that the students visit throughout the year. I do have a jar in the room, and the students count the different items. I just photocopy the pages to make a little book. click here for the counting books This book was new to me, and I LOVE it! It is recommended from the book Teaching Preschool and Kindergarten Math by Ann Carlyle and Brenda Mercado. This book has a simple text with some excellent vocabulary words. I look forward to using some of the vocabulary words for our WOW word of the week. I love the idea of having students create little-counting books using thumbprints. Ed Emberley's book is perfect to get ideas! You could also use pattern scrap paper for the little creatures. The illustrations are beautiful.
