Activity 2 / Who Has 1 More? Worksheet
Do your kids know what chipmunks are? What do these animals eat, what are some of their habits, and where do they live? Chipmunks like to eat acorns, and usually gather and store these nuts somewhere hidden. This way, when the weather is bad and there are no acorns on the trees, they still have a lot to eat. Look at the acorns on the left side of the printout. Now, count the chipmunks’ acorns and circle the one that has 1 acorn more than the acorns on the left.
