Here’s a fun hands-on way to have preschoolers practice counting and number recognition to twenty!
Little ones will enjoy counting butterflies and finding the matching number on the recording mat.

Preparing the Activity
Print, laminate, and cut apart the pages. You’ll have two recording pages (which can stay unlaminated if you’d prefer). Cut apart the butterfly cards.
Completing the Activity
Once you’ve got the activity prepped, shuffle the counting cards and place them facedown on the table.
Have children flip over the top card, count the butterflies in the bug jars, and color the number on the butterfly mat.

This activity pack covers the following skills:
- number recognition to 20
- counting to 20
- fine motor skills
- visual discrimination
