3) Bugs Arrange By Size – There are 5 different bugs included with 6 sizes of each for kids to arrange.
4) Bumblebee Match By Math – Match the bee to the correct flower by solving the simple addition sums to 10. This would make a nice file folder game.
5) Caterpillar Complete The Pattern Strips – Print out and cut out into individual strips then use pompoms, dot markers, dot stickers or other colored manipulatives to complete the patterns. Includes ABAB, AABB, ABCABC and ABCB patterns.
6) Butterfly Alphabet Match – Kids will love playing with these upper and lowercase matching cards. I have included single color and multicolor letter cards for you.
7) Catching Butterfly Beginning Sounds – Print out the colored mats and picture sheets. Cut them out into individual butterfly cards. Kids will then match the objects on the butterfly to the correct letters on the mat.
8) Caterpillar Order Alphabet Strips – Kids will need to look at the set of 5 letters and decide if they’re in the correct alphabetic order. They will then choose the thumbs up or down icon. Print out and cut up into individual strips. Laminate and use these with dry-erase markers.
9) Ladybug Tracing Lines – Kids will love this fine motor pre-writing practice. 4 fun mats are included.
10) Leaves for Lunch Ants Alphabet Sort – Print up and cut up into individual cards. Have your kids divide up the letter cards into vowels and consonants.
