Hungry Caterpillar Count and Clip Cards

Count and clip cards inspired by The Very Hungry Caterpillar to practise counting skills, number recognition and one-to-one correspondence in a fun, interactive way.

This count and clip activity helps children count the objects on each card and clip the correct number using a peg or clothes pin. The visual support and clear layout make it easy for young learners to practise early maths skills while also strengthening fine motor skills and hand–eye coordination.

The cards are ideal for maths centres, independent work, early finishers, small group activities or home learning. They can be used laminated for repeated practice or as part of a hands-on early numeracy station.
