This week's free membership printable is a fall cupcake number match. I printed the patterns on cardstock paper ... cut them out and then laminated them. I made two different color sets so you can either print one copy of each set or two copies of one set for the children to match.

In this activity children pick a cupcake number card and then find the cupcake with the same number. We do a lot of fine motor work so we use mini clothespins and learning links to connect the two cards.

When using the learning links put the two matching number cards back to back an punch a hole on the right side of the front card and attach a learning link to both cards. 

We also put the cards back when we clip them with mini clothes pins. Children are able to see the same number on both sides of the cards. Another way to use the cards is to punch a hole on the top left of each card and attach a book ring. Children can flip through the number cards and identify the numbers on the cards.

You can download the number match from the link below until October 29th ... after that date it will only be available in the member's section which is also where I have added:

I made a fall leaf number match for number identification and fine motor development. I printed the patterns on cardstock paper ... cut them out and then laminated them. I mixed the leaf basket cards up and  and did the same with the leaf cards. 

I have included numbers 1-30 and also made two different color variations for the learning friends on the leaf basket cards. One set has all the same color sweaters and the other set has four different colored sweaters.

I like to use mini clothespins with the matching activities as it adds in fine motor development. I also recommend starting with numbers 1-5 or 1-10 for very young children and more numbers for older children.

In this activity children pick a leaf basket card and find the leaf with same number and clip the two cards together. For self-checking children can clip the cards back to back so they can see the number on both sides.

This week's free membership printable is an apple tree color match. I printed the patterns on cardstock paper cut them out and laminated them. I then mixed the apples up and set them in a pile and put the color circles in their own pile.

You can cut the apple tree out as I have done in the picture above or you can use the apple tree mats. There is a blank tree so you can put the color circles and apples anywhere on the tree. I have also created an apple tree with a blank circle at the top for the color circles and one with with circles for the apples and the color circles.

In this activity children pick a color circle and place it on the tree. They then find the apples that are the same color and place them on the tree. Play continues until all colors have been matched.

I made addd school alphabet match and clip. I printed the patterns on cardstock paper cut them out and laminated them. I then separated the school and pencil cards into their own group.

I set the cards out along with mini clothespins that I purchased from amazon. For very young children I recommend setting a few of the letter cards out at a time. 

In this activity children pick a schoolhouse card and find the pencil card with the matching letter and clip them together. I have included both uppercase and lowercase letters .

The children can also do a school to school match as well as a pencil to pencil match.
