Count and Clip Through the Pumpkin Patch
These clothespin counting cards bring the pumpkin patch to your kitchen table. Each card features original hand-painted watercolor illustrations of real pumpkin varieties. Your child counts the pumpkins, finds the matching number, and clips a clothespin to their answer.
The pinch-and-clip motion strengthens the same hand muscles kids need for writing and cutting. At the same time, they're practicing number recognition and one-to-one correspondence with numbers that go all the way up to 12.
What's Inside 12 counting cards covering numbers 1 through 12, plus a title card and instruction card. Four pumpkin varieties appear across the set: classic orange pumpkins, sage green pumpkins, cream and white pumpkins, and green textured gourds. The higher number range (up to 12) makes this set a natural next step for kids who've mastered counting to 10.
Every pumpkin is hand-painted in watercolor, not sourced from clip art. The variety of shapes and colors teaches kids that pumpkins come in more forms than just the round orange ones at the grocery store.
How to Use Print the PDF on cardstock (65 lb or heavier recommended). Cut the cards apart. Grab a handful of spring-loaded wooden clothespins. Your child counts the pumpkins in the illustration, then clips the clothespin to the correct number.
For toddlers (ages 2-3): Start with cards in the 1-5 range and focus on the clipping motion. For preschoolers: Work through the full set. The jump from single digits to 10, 11, and 12 is a real milestone. For kindergartners: Use as independent tray work or a math center activity.
Perfect For Fall lesson plans, pumpkin-themed unit studies, Montessori tray work, homeschool morning baskets, preschool math centers, Halloween and harvest activities, and quiet time.
Pairs With Our Fall Early Learning Bundle for a complete autumn learning experience covering pumpkin life cycles, math, fine motor skills, and nature exploration. Or grab the Texas Wildflower Clothespin Cards for a spring/summer set that keeps the counting practice going year-round.
