6. Star Sorting and Counting Game

Memorial Day can also connect with early math learning.

Cut out red, white, and blue stars from paper or foam. Then invite preschoolers to sort them by color, size, or shape. You can also ask children to count how many stars they have.

For example:

  • Put all red stars together.
  • Count five blue stars.
  • Which pile has more?

This simple activity supports number recognition, sorting skills, and color identification while staying connected to the holiday theme.
