Finding fun and educational toys for preschool age kids to do in the car, at church or at home can be a challenge. I found a fun idea for a number wheel and thought I would give it a whirl!
This number wheel will help your preschooler recognize numbers, count, match and practice fine motor skills. What you need is:
- a copy of a pie chart divided into 10 with dots representing numbers, printed on card stock (one can be found at the bottom of this post)
- Laminator (this is optional, but will really help your number wheel last much longer)
- 10 clothes pins
- A fine tip permanent marker
After you print, cut out and laminate your number wheel you need to number your clothes pins. I chose to put both the number and dots on one side and just the number on the other.
The whole thing fits nicely in a quart size ziploc bag.

That is so cute. We still have a color wheel Diane Wonnacott made for preschool, similar idea only with colors. Love it!
This is fabulous!
