About this resource
This EYFS Minibeast Counting resource is a fun, engaging activity designed to help young children develop early counting skills, visual scanning, and observation. Children explore a detailed picture filled with a range of minibeasts and count how many of each creature they can find. With three differentiated levels, this activity supports all learners. Perfect for continuous provision, small-group sessions, outdoor learning topics, and early maths lessons, this resource encourages children to practise one-to-one correspondence, compare amounts, and discuss what they see using early mathematical language. It also links beautifully to themes such as minibeasts, nature, the outdoors, and science exploration. Designed for use in Reception and Nursery, this activity can be laminated for durability or used digitally. It supports EYFS learning goals by strengthening number recognition, counting accuracy, attention to detail, and communication skills as children describe the minibeasts they spot. A playful and immersive way to bring counting to life!Read more
