Sandpaper numbers craft

Here's a simple and fun math craft idea.

Materials:

• sandpaper
• number templates
• pencil
• scissors
• card stock

Directions:

1. Trace backwards block numbers onto the back of a sheet of sandpaper.
2. Cut out the numbers and glue onto card stock cards.
3. Students trace the numbers with their fingers to teach about stroke order.

You could also use the reverse and make cards out of the negative. Kids trace their fingers through the holes in the sandpaper.

Do the same activity for the leters of the alphabet.
