Bring some Christmas fun into early learning with this The 12 Days of Christmas activity book for Preschool–1st Grade! Children work their way through all 12 days of the classic Christmas song while practicing counting, number recognition, number formation, coloring, and visual discrimination. Beginning with 1 Partridge in a Pear Tree and ending with 12 Drummers Drumming, the activities become progressively more challenging as the numbers increase.
TWO Versions Included!
This 28-page resource includes two complete versions, making it easy to use with children at different skill levels.
✏️ Write the Numbers Version
Children count the pictures and write the numbers in the boxes underneath.
✏️ Trace the Numbers Version
Designed for younger learners who are still developing number-writing skills. Children count each picture and trace the numbers provided.
Which One Is Different?
Beginning with the 3 French Hens, each page has a little extra challenge—one picture is different! Children compare the pictures, find the one that doesn't match, and circle it.
The differences are simple enough for young children to spot while still encouraging them to slow down, look carefully, and practice visual discrimination and attention to detail.
