Spring Leaf Counting Activity


This counting activity is great for children to collect and handle the leaves whilst developing their fine motor skills and hand eye co-ordination. It also develops counting skills and number recognition. It can be adapted to the season by using different types of leaves and adding flowers during spring/ summer. Add the pegs to the leaves to match the numbers written on them.
