Have you checked out our butterfly mini study? It is officially spring! With this nice warm weather we have been spending quiet a bit of time outside exploring. I figured it was the perfect time to do a butterfly study. This counting butterfly eggs activity was one was many that we did! This is a great fine motor and mathematics activity to do with your child.

Counting Butterfly Eggs Activity
This is a great mathematics activity for your little ones. This can be done a few different ways depending on the age of your child.
Give the leaves and the pom-poms to your little one.
1st way to do this activity: Have your child put the correct number of pom-poms on the leaves then have them count them to you.
2nd way to do this activity: Give your child a leave. Say you give them the leaf with number 5. Then put 8 pom-poms on it and ask how many they need to remove to get the right number
3rd way to do this activity: Give them a leaf. Say you give them the leaf with the 10. Then give them 4 pom-poms and ask how many more they need
Each time have them count the number of pom-poms to you.
I hope your little one enjoyed this activity!
