Hey Teachers! Here you can find a beautiful caterpillar that contains the numbers from 1 to 10. This is a colourful resource you can hang on your class walls. We recommend you to laminate every piece so it can last longer and it’ll look better. If you can choose a white background, the caterpillar will look better on top of it. You’ll find the free printable at the end of this post.
Why are numbers from 1 to 10 very important?
Kids learn to count at a really young age, usually without really understanding the meaning of numbers or their quantities. They start to recognize numbers when they are toddlers but they actually understand their meaning when they grow up and they start using quantities in real life. By the age of four, children can be able to understand quantities and that is why numbers from 1 to 10 have an important role. Numbers from 1 to 10 are the smallest quantities kids can manage; for instance: “Can I have two cookies?” or “Can I borrow 3 crayons?”.
