Here’s a fun preschool or toddler activity you can do with your kids when reading the Dr Seuss book One Fish, Two Fish. We actually own the Nursery Collection version of this book which is perfect for practicing counting!
You can see the Nursery Collection version of the book with counting fish here.
The first activity to do with this book is to create these adorable One Fish Two Fish printable puppets! These are so easy to make and will be fun to play and count with!
How to Make the Puppets
1. First, print off the printable puppet fish.
You can get the printable at the bottom of the post.
Choose between colored fish or kids can color their own!
2. Tape a wooden dowel to the back.
Use some tape or you can hot glue (adults only) a wooden dowel to the back of the fish.
How easy is that? These are now perfect fish to act out the book with! Have fun counting the fish using the puppets!
Now onto the counting printable!
For this printable, I bought some colored Goldfish snacks to make the counting activity more fun (and you can have a snack break with them too!). Kids can also draw their own fish on the lines or you can use stickers.
If you want to re-use the printable, you can laminate it and wipe it down when you’re done.
The One Fish Two Fish printable counts up to five, just like in the Nursery version of the book. Line up the number of goldfish on each line for the number.
This is a great activity for your child to pick out the number of goldfish and place them on the counting mat. Have them count the goldfish after placing them to make sure they have the correct number!
