Circle Spot Counting – Early Years / PS1
This hands-on, versatile maths resource is perfect for Early Years and PS1 learners, whether you’re in a classroom, home setting, or childminding environment. It’s designed to support counting, number recognition, and fine motor skills through playful, practical learning that links beautifully with the Welsh Curriculum.
You’ll get:
One A4 printable sheet filled with circles containing spots in numbers 1–5. Children place the correct coloured Unifix cubes over the spots to match the number shown.
This activity encourages counting accuracy, colour recognition, and careful hand–eye coordination. It’s ideal for independent learning, small group work, or tuff tray invitations to play. The sheet can be reused and adapted in many ways to suit different learning levels.
Links beautifully with AoLEs:
Mathematics & Numeracy
Health and Wellbeing
Language, Literacy & Communication
If you use this resource, I’d absolutely love to see it in action.
