What’s in the printable PDF file?
This no-prep, one-page printable has everything you need for a quick and colorful activity that’s as fun as it is simple. It includes one Crayon Monster I Spy Game page filled with goofy, bright crayon monsters in different shades of green and yellow for your kids to count and enjoy.
No special prep is required, just print the page, hand over a pencil and/or some manipulatives, and your kids will be ready to start counting. And if you’re short on time or supplies, no worries: they can simply count and say the numbers out loud.
To make things even easier, I’ve included a complete answer key on a separate page. It’s perfect for checking their work quickly or letting them review and correct it themselves or with a partner — great for encouraging independence and for saving you a few extra minutes.
Ways to Use the Crayon Monster I Spy Game
This kind of simple printable can be used in many different ways. You can:
- Use it as a quiet time activity at home or daycare.
- Add it to a classroom math center or early finisher bin.
- Place it into a dry-erase pocket or even laminate it for reuse.
- You could even really think outside the box and turn it into a cut-and-paste matching and sorting game by cutting out the images and gluing them onto a separate sheet in matching groups (great fine motor practice!).
No matter how you use it, it’s a great way for preschoolers, kindergarteners, and even first graders to work on counting, and attention to detail, with some silly fun images.
