Help your pre-schooler explore numbers through colourful, creative play.

Fingerprint Caterpillars is a fun painting activity that encourages children to match numbers to quantities by creating colourful caterpillars with fingerprint body spots. As they play, they'll practise recognising numbers and colours, matching numbers to amounts and counting carefully through playful, hands-on learning.

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. You'll also receive a printable caterpillar template, or you can simply draw your own.
