Winter Holiday Counting & Tracing — Answer Key
Part A: Fill in the Blank
Write the missing word or number on each line.
1. If you have 4 sleds and get 3 more, you have 7.
A pair always has two of something, so a pair of boots means 2 boots — one for each foot.
2. A pair of mittens is 2 mittens.
A classic snowman has a big bottom ball, a medium middle ball, and a small head ball — that makes 3 snowballs.
3. 5 snowballs take away 2 leaves 3.
If you count December, January, and February, you get 3 — that's how many months winter covers.
4. There are 3 months in winter.
Reindeer are four-legged animals — like deer and horses, they have 4 legs to run and stand on.
5. 6 icicles plus 4 icicles equals 10.
You have two hands, and each hand needs its own mitten, so altogether you need 2 mittens.
6. A snowman needs a hat, scarf, and carrot nose. That is 3 items.
Igloos are little dome-shaped homes built by stacking solid blocks cut from packed ice and snow.
7. You see 8 birds and 3 fly away. Now there are 5.
Snow is smooth and slippery, which lets the flat bottom of a sled glide easily downhill.
8. Winter is the coldest season of the year.
A hat goes on the snowman's head at the very top, helping him look friendly and finished.
9. 3 cups of cocoa plus 3 more makes 6.
When you drink something hot, the heat moves through your body and helps you feel warm from the inside out.
