A quick way to teach your children tally marks – use sticks. Fun, practical, cheap and material readily available. Here I got some sticks from my yard and on our neighborhood walks. I chose sticks similar in length and width. Tied these together and created a tally mark nature chart. 
I made enough for two-digit charting. Wrap yarn around the sticks..to your comfort. Knowing I wanted these for many lessons I made them tight enough to last. 
There really isn’t a particular way to wrap the sticks, I wrapped in and around to hold them together. Hope your tally mark nature chart will be fun with your little ones. Miss Sue
