🌌 Why Alien Counting Activities Are a Hit
Kids are naturally curious about space, and incorporating aliens into math activities adds an exciting twist. When I discovered these squishy, sensory alien figures, I knew they’d be a huge hit with my students. Their vibrant colors and stretchy textures aren’t just fun—they also provide excellent sensory input, keeping my students engaged while they learn.

📊 What’s Included in the Alien Counting Task Cards?
- Printable Task Cards: Colorful, easy-to-follow counting cards designed to help students practice number recognition, one-to-one correspondence, and counting skills.
- Sensory Alien Counting Option: If you have sensory alien figures, they’re a fantastic, hands-on tool. But don’t worry if you don’t have them—I’ve included printable alien cut-outs so every student can join the fun!
- Versatile Use: Perfect for independent work, small group instruction, or math centers.
🚀 Where to Find Affordable Sensory Aliens
One of my favorite hacks for finding fun sensory items is to check out the party favor section at local stores. You’ll often find multi-packs of stretchy aliens at budget-friendly prices—and bonus: some even glow in the dark! Students LOVE this added feature, especially during sensory breaks.
