Toddler Number Resource
My toddler had recently turned 2 when he started showing interest in numbers. He was suddenly counting to 10 and always wanted to work on his number puzzle. He really leads the way in our learning. Since he was showing interest, I knew it was time to create a few fun and engaging learning activities. My Toddler Number Resource: Numbers 1-10 includes activities that give my toddler opportunities to recognize numbers, write numbers, and count. After mastering numbers 0-10, I created the Toddler Number Resource: Numbers 11-20. Keep reading to learn all about how I set up and use these resources with my toddler.
Set Up
Before I walk you through the resource, let me mention a few things about set-up.
Let's start with printing. I own a color laser printer, so I print from home. If you don't own a printer, I think it's a great investment! However, always do what is best for your family! If you are looking for a reasonable printing company, I recommend The Homeschool Printing Company. I have yet to find a company with better pricing!
I chose to laminate most of the pages in this resource. I adore laminated pages because they are sturdy and essentially toddler-proof. If you want your pages to be laminated, I would recommend purchasing a personal laminator and laminating pouches. I do NOT recommend paying a company to laminate this resource because it is typically extremely expensive. However, if you decide to not laminate the resource, I'll give some tips and tricks as we chat through the resource!
If you head over to my Instagram highlights (@francieoutlaw) you can view the highlights titled "Setting Up a Resource" & "Laminating" for more information about set-up.

Toddler Number Resource: Numbers 0-10
Numbers 0-10
In the first section of this resource, your child will learn to recognize, trace, and write the numbers 0-10. Depending on your child's age, you can model how to trace the number with your finger or trace the number with a writing utensil.
I chose to laminate these pages just because I love laminated pages. My toddler is able to easily turn the pages without any risk of tearing. However, if you don't want to laminate, this section is a perfect candidate for just printing, hole punching, and placing in a binder. When you're ready to use, you can slip it into a dry erase pouch. Dry erase markers can often stain the lamination, so I always place our laminated pages into a dry erase pouch when my toddler writes with a dry erase marker.

All About the Numbers
All About the Numbers includes an activity page for each number 0 through 10. Your child will have the opportunity to trace the number and number word. There is also a space to practice writing the number. The other 3 spaces are all about counting and learning 1-1 correspondence. Your child will mark how many, color how many, and draw how many.
I laminated these pages, but just like the Numbers 0-10 section, you do not have to! Dry erase pouches are your best friend. While dry erase markers in the hands of a toddler might make you a little nervous, it's a great opportunity to teach some responsibility and self-control!

Number Matching
If you've been around for any length of time, you probably know we're obsessed with matching. I created 4 matching pages. One has the numbers 1-10 in order, and another has the numbers 1-10 out of order. There is also a picture matching page and a ten-frame matching page. I highly recommend laminating these pages and using velcro to secure the matching pieces.
