Number Crafts {Number SIX}... Pirate Adventure

I teach a weekly class for preschoolers called "123 Learn with Me". Each week, we learn about numbers through a variety of activities and crafts. This week, we had some fun learning about the number six through a "pirate" theme.

We did a number search, decorated a number six, practiced printing the number six, and did two pirate crafts.  {The entire lesson plan can be downloaded, for personal use, through the link at the bottom of this post.}

We started by crafting a pirate treasure chest with 6 white treasures and 6 blue treasures inside. {You can draw your own treasure chest, or scroll to the bottom of this post to download my template for free.}

We also read a pirate story, and crafted a simple paper roll pirate telescope.  We used duct tape at one end, and the kids colored the rest of the paper roll with crayons.

Isn't this a cute way to learn about the number six?  I'll be sharing our crafts and activities for the number seven soon, so don't forget to come back and check them out.
