Help your Year 1 child build confidence with number order through creative, hands-on play.

Caterpillar Number Line is a creative number activity that encourages children to build their own number line from 0–20. As they write, order and join the numbered circles, they'll practise recognising and sequencing numbers while exploring which numbers come before and after and developing their understanding of one more and one less.

Simple to set up and easy to adapt, you'll receive a parent-friendly guide with clear instructions, practical learning tips and ideas to extend the play as your child's confidence grows. The activity is designed to be flexible. Use paper or card to create the numbered circles, then glue or tape them together and decorate the finished caterpillar using whatever craft materials you already have at home.
