- They then grab a hole puncher, and punch in that many numbers on the butterfly wings.
- Then they could also making dough balls to show the number (as an extension activity).
- I usually check their work as I go around the class.

Butterfly Activities for Kids
Use these cards to help kids develop subitizing and fine motor skills and their number knowledge. Kids need to master their counting and number identification skills as it is a critical component to prepare them for more complex reasoning and mathematic skills. Introduce the ten frame cards and show the kids that these cards are to be used with hole punchers or alternatively have the kids use dot markers to add their dots on the butterflies. You could possibly have your pre-schoolers work on easier numbers and the kindergarteners to work on all the other cards. A great way to work on these cards is to create a competition where the kids have to complete all the cards in a group.
This game can also be played as a group, It’ll be even more enjoyable to have the competition game played between groups.
