Butterfly Math Activities for Preschool
Focus on beginning math skills with these butterfly theme math activities for preschoolers. You can use them as individual work, extra practice, or you can put them in your math centers.
Inside this eight-page pack of butterfly printables, you’ll find the following math activities:
Number Formation
Learning to write numbers is an important preschool milestone. However, it can be a bit of a challenge for some kids.
This worksheet packet includes a handwriting page on which children will trace the numbers 1-25. You can laminate this page or slip it in a dry erase pocket to make it reusable. Have kids use a dry erase marker to complete the page, wipe it clean, and do it all over again.
Sorting by Size
Sorting by size is another important skill for preschoolers to learn. It helps them to understand similarities and differences, and to see relationships between objects.
The sorting by size worksheet in this printable pack encourages children to cut and paste three butterflies in order from smallest to largest. If they have trouble distinguishing the sizes with their naked eye, have them use snap cubes or paper clips to measure each one before sorting it.
Color Words
For many children, learning color words is their first exposure to vocabulary that goes beyond the familiar names of family members and common objects. Learning color words broadens their horizons and helps them to see the world in a new way.
In this pack, there is a page that focuses on color words – red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple. Kids will read the color words in each box and color the butterfly accordingly.
If your child can’t read the color words yet, set out the six crayons and have them match the words on the crayon wrapper to the word in the box to color the butterflies.
Color by Number
At first glance, color by number worksheets may seem like nothing more than a simple coloring activity. However, these worksheets can actually teach preschoolers a variety of important skills.
They help children to develop fine motor skills and improve their hand-eye coordination. As children color in the different sections of the worksheet, they must pay close attention to the lines and numbers in order to stay within the lines.
Preschoolers will love completing the color by number in this pack to reveal the hidden image – an adorable butterfly.
Count and Color
For preschoolers, learning to count is an important stepping stone on the way to more complex math skills. And what better way to practice than with some fun worksheets?
This packet includes four count and color worksheets that are a great way for preschoolers to learn while they’re having fun. Each worksheet features a different group of objects to count. Kids will love counting the objects and then coloring them in according to the given instructions.
These worksheets are great for helping preschoolers develop their fine motor skills and number recognition. Plus, they’re just plain fun!
