Last year we added these beautiful nutcracker multiplication and division activities to our holiday shelves.
They were such a hit! I wanted to be sure that I shared the free printable I created for them.
It's no secret that we're crazy about the story of the nutcracker around here.
It seems every Christmas we have a few more fun nutcracker activities on our shelves.
Nutcracker Multiplication and Division Activities with Free Printables
Anyone who has read the story of the nutcracker or seen the ballet knows the character Mother Ginger with all of her many children. The activity below was designed with this character in mind.
Mother Ginger and Her Multiplying Children
When doing this activity, a child selects a clip card and uses the wooden cutouts of children as counters if needed. Once the problem is solved the child will put a red bead on the correct answer.

Nutcracker Division
I found these beautiful nutcracker clothes pins at a local store and fell head over heels in love with them.
For this activity the child will select a division clip card. He will then roll out the red ribbon, adding clothespins to it in groups to solve the problem. Once finished, he will use a red glass bead to mark the answer.
