My one Son LOVES his numbers and one day while I was making a new quiet book he took the number pages I had been using and lined them up. I thought this was a brilliant idea and that afternoon made this printable set for him.
I added the bugs to give the numbers an image to count so 3 bugs on the three is three.
He loves to line them up in the correct order.
The bugs are also arranged in a tracing compatible way. My daughter can practice her number writing by connecting the bugs to write the numbers.
Download the Number set here, Print out, cut and laminate for long term usage. Use dry erase markers to write on the laminated numbers.
Many thanks to reader Emily for the suggestion to extend this activity by adding an extra 1!! Download the 11-20 extension number set here.
Take a look at this quick in action video!
Pin IT!

I just discovered your blog yesterday, but I’m so happy to have find this jam ! Your work is so good, and so intelligently done. The fact that you think about put bugs to help the kids to trace the letters : mind blown. I used to homeschool, then put my kids in a online school but I’m not happy with the results, so next year I will homsechool AGAIN. And I can only guess that a lot of your work will be used !
And thank you for that.

What’s a cheap and easy way to laminate these numbers? A quick internet search reveals “self-laminating sheets” for under 10 bucks but I don’t know if these can handle odd shapes
Nicolette Roux says
you can also use contact paper. stick the paper between 2 sheets and ta daaa
Emily says
These are fantastic!
Extending this a bit further. It would be great to have a 1 with 10 bugs on it to use to make the teens instead of just ending at 10!

Wow, Im just starting out and I feel really inspired by your well EVERYTHING!!!! I also frequent Pinterest and many other blogs.Ive followed you on Twitter for a while now and just enjoy looking at your posts – today I’ve decided to just dive in and eeeeeekkkkkkk!
Ive just launched my website, going to launch the first event on my daughters birthday 2nd April (piggy-backing on an event = free marketing). Ive also started a Blog – my friends and family have asked me to do so for years now, they feel I’m insightful (no pressure).
Thank you for making yourself available to us, out there who are just starting out. Ive used many of your things for my autistic son – whom we homeschooled last year. Just downloaded some goodies for the Easter Holiday Season/Vacay.
Lovely Stuff Toodles xxxx
