DIVA LAMP COUNTING PUZZLES (1-10)
Diva lamp themed counting puzzles. Select those appropriate for your children (1-10 available) and allow them to match the number with the corresponding number of diva lamps. 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 diva lamps, counting as they go.
