Leaf Number Matching Activity

Today I am sharing this fantastic leaf number matching activity. Teaching young children to count is a crucial and important building block for developing basic maths skills.

As an early years teacher, I was always on the lookout for fun and simple ideas to help preschool kids practice matching and number recognition. This is a fun and easy activity to do with the kids. Enjoy.
