Let’s Grow Some Number Flowers!
This printable number matching game uses the fun of flowers to make learning enjoyable. Here’s how it works:
- Pick a Number Center: Your little learners will first pick a yellow circle. This is the flower’s center, and it has a number written on it (0-10). The goal is to find the correct quantity that matches the number on each circle.
- Count the Pictures: Then, they will search through the petal pieces and find the matching quantities like counting the ducks in the pond, dots on the backs of ladybugs, counting petals on a flower and eggs in a nest!
- Build the Flowers: By adding petals with pictures and stems with leaves around the yellow number circle, they will form 11 unique and beautiful flowers, covering all the numbers from 0 to 10!
