These Nursery Winter Puzzle Strips are a hands-on maths resource designed to support early counting, number recognition and one-to-one correspondence through play-based learning. Children complete simple number puzzles by matching numerals in order from 1 to 5 , helping them develop confidence with early number concepts in a calm, winter-themed context. The resource is designed to be laminated and reused , making it ideal for continuous provision and small group work. This activity supports key Development Matters (Birth to 5 Matters) objectives for Nursery (3–4 years) and provides appropriate progression into Reception learning. The puzzle strips help children to: Say one number for each item counted Understand that the final number counted represents the total (cardinality) Link numerals to quantities up to 5 Begin to recognise and order numerals Develop fine motor control through manipulation of puzzle pieces This resource is ideal for: Nursery maths provision Small group or adult-led sessions Intervention and catch-up Calm, focused number work during the winter term

Her own system, with the star count repeated in every worksheet header so a child can be handed the right sheet without a word.
