About this resource

Build strong early number sense with this Easter Themed EYFS Easter Egg Subitising activity, designed to support Reception children in recognising quantities 1–6 without counting. This hands-on maths resource encourages children to quickly identify amounts by sight, helping to develop confident and secure early maths skills. Children can choose a picture card showing a small set of spots and instantly identify how many there are, before matching it to a grid of Easter eggs arranged in the same pattern. Alternatively, children can roll a numbered or spotty dice and cover the group of Easter eggs that represents the same quantity. Both variations encourage children to “see” numbers at a glance rather than relying on counting one-by-one. This versatile activity is ideal for independent learning, small group work, or maths continuous provision. It supports the development of subitising, number recognition, one-to-one correspondence, and mathematical vocabulary, while also promoting focus and engagement through a fun, seasonal Easter theme. A practical and engaging EYFS maths resource to reinforce early number understanding in a playful and meaningful way.Read more

This pack is print and go. Our catalogue does not list an editable copy of it, so none is offered here rather than promising a file nobody has opened. Page counts are not printed either, because we do not publish them and a guessed number is worse than none.
