World Bee Day EYFS Maths Pack Ages 3–7

Celebrate World Bee Day (May 20th) with this complete, print-and-go EYFS Maths pack — designed to bring early mathematics to life through the wonderful world of bees!

This 29-page resource is packed with hands-on, curriculum-aligned activities that cover all key areas of early mathematics — from number recognition and counting to shapes, patterns, measurement, and early calculation. Every activity is themed around bees, honeycombs, and flowers, making it the perfect companion for your World Bee Day lessons or any minibeasts topic throughout the year.

What is included:

• Number recognition 1–10 — match numerals to number words
• Count and colour — count bee groups and colour the correct amount
• Missing numbers — complete number sequences on the honeycomb
• More or less — compare groups and identify greater and fewer
• Cut and paste ordering — sequence numbers 1–10 in the correct order
• Shape spotting in the hive — identify and colour 2D shapes
• AB pattern completing — circle what comes next
• ABB pattern completing — draw what comes next
• Big and small / tall and short — measurement and comparison
• Simple addition — honeycomb sums with visual support
• Subtraction stories — cross out and calculate with bees
• Positional language — above, below, next to, inside, outside

A note on versatility:
While this pack has been designed with World Bee Day in mind, every activity page is evergreen — with no date-specific content on the worksheets themselves. This means you can use it confidently at any point during the year as part of a broader minibeasts, spring, or nature topic without it feeling out of place.
