Double Bugs Counting Tuff Tray Activity – EYFS Numeracy

This resource is the perfect Valentine’s Day–themed tuff tray provision to support a range of EYFS / EYFP numeracy skills through hands-on, playful learning.

Children explore doubling, subitising, number recognition, and ordering numbers to 10 using a love-bug theme that encourages engagement and independent learning.

The activity invites children to use counters to match the spots on each side of the ladybug, supporting early doubling concepts and visual number patterns. Numbered leaves encourage ordering numbers 1–10, while hearts and a title card help create an inviting, well-organised tuff tray set-up.

What’s included:
6 × love bugs for counting, matching, subitising, and doubling
1–10 numbered leaves for number ordering
5 × heart shapes for tuff tray provision
1 × title card (ideal for mounting or laminating)

This resource is ideal for continuous provision, adult-led or child-initiated learning, and supports key EYFS maths objectives in a fun, seasonal context.
