Count the Halloween objects from 1 to 20. Colouring version ideal for individual use. If you are a childcare practitioner individual sheets are ideal to send home with children in order to enable them to consolidate their learning concerning a particular number by sharing what they have done with the people at home.

Engage your children in counting play by enlisting their help to create their own ‘Minibeasts’ puzzle set. Select those appropriate for your children (1-10 available) and allow them to colour the images and numbers. The puzzles may then be cut out (you can decide whether to work on scissor skills with your child or pre-cut the puzzles). Then encourage your children to have fun playing with their own puzzles! Each pair has a different way of connecting as a puzzle for the children to match and so even if they haven’t learnt what the number looks like yet, but are beginning to say the numbers in order, this can be a fun way to introduce them to new challenges. Once the puzzles are complete, why not line the numbers up in order and count together? If your children would enjoy a further game, leave out a number and see if they can spot which one is missing from the sequence. Puzzles could also be used as a fine motor control/counting activity if left uncut. Children could be given an appropriate number for their learning and encouraged to place objects on the minibeasts, counting as they go.

Includes two versions of ‘5’ formation. Primarily designed for use as a mat to be laminated and used time and time again with whiteboard pens for children to practise their number formation, this resource has many uses. It could be used by a child once and taken home as a consolidation of their learning. It could be used as part of a Winter and/or Maths display. Place it in a learning area where children may be writing numbers as a reminder of how to form numbers. Or alternatively use it as a counting playdough/loose parts mat.
