Building Numbers 11-20 with Crayons STEM Task Cards

Last month a shared several STEM task card sets that invited kids to build letters, numbers, shapes, and tally marks with crayons. The number set I shared focused on the numbers from 1 to 10. Today I have a set that focuses on the numbers 11 to 20. Your children are going to have fun building two-digit numbers with these STEM task cards and a box of crayons.

Before you have your children build each of the numbers, you may want them to read a children’s book that features numbers. The books below

Getting the STEM Task Cards Ready for Your Kids

You will need to download the Learning Numbers 11-20 with Crayons Printable Task Cardsonto your computer. Then you can open the set up using Acrobat Reader.

You need to print them out using a color printer. This will allow the various colors of the crayons to stand out.

Exploring the Task Cards

You can want to have your children work on building numbers in an invitation to play area in your house or classroom. They can work on their own, with you as their partner or with a friend. It is really up to you.

I used to leave activities on the kitchen table for my son to work on while I made dinner. This would have been a great activity for him to work on.

Hints:

You will need to let your children know if they need to match the crayons colors feature on the card. They really don’t have to. Children could use any color they like to build the numbers.

The crayons pictured on the cards are too small for your children to lay their crayons on. You may want to give them a plastic mat or tray for them to build on. It will keep your table or work surface free of stray crayon marks.
