Let’s have some fun counting pandas together! Pandas are cute and fluffy animals that love to climb trees and take naps. Are you ready to count with them?
First, let’s count the pandas as they climb up the tree:
One, two, three little pandas,
Four, five, six little pandas,
Seven, eight, nine little pandas,
Ten pandas in a tree!
Wow! Look at all those pandas having fun in the tree. Can you count them on your fingers?
Now, it’s time for the pandas to rest. Let’s count them as they go to sleep:
One, two, three little pandas,
Four, five, six little pandas,
Seven, eight, nine little pandas,
Ten pandas go to sleep!
Shh! The pandas are sleeping now. Can you pretend to be a sleeping panda too?
Did you know that pandas love to eat bamboo? They munch on it all day long! Pandas are also very good at climbing trees, just like in our counting song. Next time you see a picture of a panda, remember how we counted them together!
Keep practicing your counting, and soon you’ll be able to count all sorts of things, just like the pandas!
Panda Finger Puppets: Create your own panda finger puppets using paper and markers. Draw and cut out small panda shapes, and then attach them to your fingers using tape or glue. Use your finger puppets to act out the counting song from the article. As you count each panda, move the corresponding finger puppet up the “tree” (your arm). This will help you practice counting and make it more fun!
Panda Picnic: Pretend you are having a picnic with your panda friends. Gather ten small items, like toy pandas or blocks, and place them in a circle. Count each item as you place it down, just like the pandas climbing the tree. After counting, pretend the pandas are eating bamboo at the picnic. You can even use real snacks like celery sticks to represent bamboo!
Panda Observation Walk: Go on a walk with a grown-up and see if you can spot things in nature that pandas might like, such as trees or plants. Count how many trees you see and imagine pandas climbing them. Discuss with your grown-up why pandas might like these things. This will help you connect counting with real-world observations.
