Why not set up an invitation to play using these ‘Butterfly Counting Puzzles’?
Select those appropriate for your children (1-10 available) and allow them to match the number with the corresponding number of butterflies. 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 challenge, 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 butterflies, counting as they go.

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 bees, counting as they go.
In addition, each number is also written as a word. For our youngest children, this adds to learning about text in the environment and how it has meaning. Our oldest children may start to recognise the words and associate them with the numbers. This will be beneficial for when they begin to read and write these words in subsequent years as they will have something to build on.

Minibeasts Pictogram Chart pictures designed for children to not only think about their favourite minibeast, but also realise that others may not have the same favourite. In addition, children begin to learn about simple graphs and charts.
Ideal for use in a classroom, preschool, nursery or childminder setting. Children do not have to necessarily complete the activity at the same time, but a chart can be added to a display and individual children can add their own favourites at appropriate times. Simply place the four large minibeasts on the first page in a horizontal line to form the base of the chart and children can add their own favourite smaller minibeast above to create the vertical lines of a chart. The lengths of the lines can be compared and number of minibeasts on each can be counted to find totals. Questions such as ‘How many children like the bee?’ may be asked. To really extend mathematical thinking, questions such as ‘How many more children like the bee than the butterfly?’ could be delved into.

These cards can be used as they are with pencil/crayons & loose parts or laminated for use with playdough or whiteboard pens. Easy to use, these doubling mats provide a clear representation of the concept of doubling. Simply choose a number appropriate for your child’s level in the top box (e.g. 3), then in this example place 3 loose part objects/playdough spots, pencil/pen marks on one wing and the same on the other. Encourage your child to count the spots using 1:1 correspondence counting and then write the answer 6 in the final box. This shows that double 3 is equal to 6.

This mat is designed to engage children in learning about the concept of addition. It serves as a bridge between physically counting objects and writing mathematical equations.
How to use…
• Adult or child can choose numbers to write in the green squares.
• Then child to count out that number of items (e.g. buttons, playdough balls, cotton reels, building blocks) for each large brown box above the corresponding green squares.
• Finally, the child can count all of the items and write the answer in the golden box.
This completes the grid with an addition number sentence, e.g. “3 plus 5 is equal to 8”.
(Buttons are shown as an example – be sure to use risk assessed age-appropriate loose parts as you see fit.)

This mat is designed to engage children in learning about the concept of subtraction. It serves as a bridge between physically counting objects and writing mathematical equations.
How to use…
• Adult to write numbers in the green and red squares.
• Then child to count out the number of items (e.g. buttons, playdough balls, cotton reels, building blocks) representing the number in the green box (to be placed in the oval).
• Child to take-away the red number of items from the board.
• Child to write the number of items left in the oval as the answer in the golden box.
This completes the grid with a subtraction number sentence, e.g. “8 take away 6 is equal to 2”.
(Buttons are shown as an example – be sure to use risk assessed age-appropriate loose parts as you see fit.)

These mats are designed to engage children in learning about the concept of multiplication. They serve as a bridge between physically counting objects and writing mathematical equations.
How to use…
• Adult to write number in the green square.
• Then child to count that number of items (e.g. buttons, playdough balls, cotton reels, building blocks) into each container.
• Child to count all of the items and then write the answer in the golden box.
This completes the grid with a multiplication number sentence, e.g. “3 lots of 4 is equal to 12”.

This mat is designed to engage children in learning about the concept of sharing quantities equally. How to use…
Adult or child can choose a number to write in the top right corner.
Then child to count that number of items (e.g. buttons, playdough balls, cotton reels, building blocks) for the top box.
Finally, the child can investigate if the number can be shared fairly to the two bottom boxes.
(Buttons are shown as an example – be sure to use risk assessed age-appropriate loose parts as you see fit.)

Handy addition sheets using 2D shapes. Visual representation of shapes allows children to use 1:1 correspondence to count the object and practice writing the correct number in the appropriate box. Alternatively the children could draw the total number of shapes in each box. Also worth a look are our 2D shape cards, shape mats, shape cutting activity and shape walk sheet.
