Preschool Number Activity- Airplane and Clothes Pin Number Match

You may have seen airplanes with banners flying behind them when you go to the beach. They are advertising places to shop or eat. The planes in this preschool number activity display the numbers from 1 to 10.

Your children will love matching the numbers on small clothes pins to the numbers on the banner.

Putting the Activity Together

After printing out enough of the airplane number lines for your children, you will cut them out.

Next, you will need to write the numbers from 1-10 the ends of clothespins. We used small clothespin because that is what we had on hand at our house. You can use large clothespins for this activity too. They may be easier for your children to open and close.

Preschool Number Activity Ideas

You can have your children match the numbers on the banner to numbers on a clothespin by placing the clip over the number on the banner.
Your children can work on counting backward. They can start placing the number 10 clothespin on the 10 and working their way to 1.
They can count forwards. Children can place the number 1 clothespin on the 1 and work their way to 10.
You can hold up your fingers to represent a specific number. Your children will need to find the clip with that number and place it on that number on the banner.
