Count by 10

In this Turkey counting by 10s worksheet your child will count to 100 by 10s. We used q-tips and paint to complete our turkey, however, very small buttons, play dough, and/or sequins can also be used.

You will need the free printable turkey template, paint, q-tips, and we used a paper paint plate to hold our washable paint.

Turkey counting

Squirt out various colors of paint on a paper plate. With your child count how many dots are in one group of “feathers.” Count how many groups of feathers there are and talk about how using this printable your child will count to 100!

Beginning with the first group of dots on the left, have your child use a q-tip to color the first 10 dots with paint. Here is your first group of 10.

Use one color of paint, mix the colors together, make patterns, or paint the dots all different colors– just have fun learning to count by 10’s!

Count to 100 Thanksgiving

Next, paint the next group of 10 and so on. Keep counting and painting groups of 10 til you get to 100!

Helping Little Sis reinforce the 10’s, as we would count 11-20 for instance, I would say “20” with more emphasis– and “30, 40, 50, etc.”

Turkey Math Craft

With this colorful turkey math printable, your child will also be able to see 10 groups of 10 make 100.

After the turkey is complete, quickly count by 10’s again.

My daughter loved creating her colorful turkey by mixing paint colors together. I don’t even think she thought this was “work”– it was just too fun!
