I have been wanting to do this one all summer. I don't know why I waited so long. I thought of this after I read that kindergartners need to be able to count by ten. Truthfully my son can count by ten but I thought this would be a cool visual and that we could put our hands physically on the wall while counting and make it "more real" and a great visual representation of one hundred.

This project was more my work than the kids. While I normally do more hands on projects I think the benefit of this one is, that it enhances their environment. We actually "use" this poster. It is made on a huge piece of butcher paper. You could just hang the hands on the wall. I wish it was laminated! If you had a school it would be fun to have the kids each do a hand. I traced my sons hands and cut out 20 hand prints. I added the numbers by one to the fingers and by fives to the whole hand. (see picture) We can also use it to count by five's. My son loves skip counting. He thinks it is funny to hear my count and will ask me to count by random numbers.
