About this resource

Bring excitement to early maths learning with these Firework Counting Clipcards ! Designed to help children develop strong counting and number recognition skills, this engaging activity combines hands-on fun with key EYFS curriculum goals. Learners count the number of colourful fireworks (or objects) on each card and use a peg to clip the correct numeral. This interactive approach strengthens fine motor skills while reinforcing one-to-one correspondence and the cardinal principle — understanding that the final number counted represents the total amount. Aligned with Development Matters and Birth to 5 Matters, this resource supports progression from Nursery (Range 5) to Reception (Range 6), helping children link numerals and quantities up to 10. Ideal for maths corners, continuous provision, or small group activities — simply print, cut, and laminate for long-lasting classroom use.Read more

What you get, one file

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 Page counts are not printed either, because we do not publish them and a guessed number is worse than none.
