<p>Print, laminate and cut out this resource. The children can find the matching jigsaw pieces with the correct number of spots/holes in the apples. This will also develop motor skills as the children need to carefully place the apple halves together.</p>

<p>Print, laminate and cut these cards. Get a cheap box of cheerio style cereal and get the children to place the cheerios over the pictures. Once they have counted them, they can eat them! This encourages them to engage in the learning and works well for children who are motivated by food!</p>

<p>Print, cut and laminate this resource to help your learners to sort colours into two categories. Cut out the pictures in the tables and use velcro to attach them to the tables. Present them to the child in a tub or a pile beside the resource and ask them to sort the colours. You might need to show them how to do this first by placing a couple of colours under the correct category.</p> <p>Included are colours: red, blue, green, yellow, orange and purple.</p>

<p>Print, laminate and cut these caterpillars out. Place them on a tuff tray with some colourful pompoms and encourage the children to match the pompoms to the colours on the caterpillar’s back. There are a couple of caterpillars that have a few blank spaces for the children to continue the patterns and 3 blank caterpillars for them to create their own patterns! Have fun!</p>

<p>This activity allows learners to match similar items. I usually laminate the sheets and then add velcro to allow the children to match the cards beside the original pictures.</p>

<p>Children can use these cards to match similar items. I usually laminate the sheets and add some velcro to the cards at the bottom so they can place the matching pair beside the original picture.</p>
