Butterfly Number Matching File Folder Game

This week we are learning about caterpillars and butterflies.   To go along with our theme and help Aiden work on the numbers 0 – 10, I made a Butterfly Number Matching File Folder Game.  

The download includes butterflies with spots ~ count the number of spots and match the butterfly to the correct flower

and butterflies with spots and numbers ~ match the number on the butterfly to the number on the flower. 

Click on any of the above images to download.

Here is how we played:

I hung the butterflies from the ceiling,

gave Aiden a butterfly net, and let him catch them.  As he pulled them out of the net, he told me the color of the butterfly (all of the butterflies are different colors so we could work on colors too!) and he counted the spots and said the number. 

I had to keep hanging the butterflies up so he could do it again and again!  Later in the week I will help him match the butterflies to the numbers on the flowers.
