Children ages 4 to 6 build skip counting fluency with this printable PDF Easter craft stick puzzle set, offering hands-on practice with sequences by 2s, 3s, 5s, and 10s, plus counting 1 to 10. Each of the five puzzles combines number sequence work with fine motor assembly, revealing a cheerful Easter image when correctly completed — making early math practice feel like play.

📦 What's Included

  • 5 skip counting puzzles featuring sequences: 1-10, skip count by 2s, skip count by 3s, skip count by 5s, and skip count by 10s
  • Two format options: rounded edges (compatible with 6-inch jumbo craft sticks) and straight edges
  • 5 pages total — one puzzle per page with Easter-themed illustrations
  • Self-correcting design — the picture only looks right when numbers are in order

💡 Learning Benefits

  • Practice skip counting by 2s, 3s, 5s, and 10s — building blocks for multiplication understanding
  • Strengthen number sequence recognition and early patterning skills
  • Develop fine motor control through craft stick assembly and alignment
  • Reinforce one-to-one correspondence with the 1-10 counting puzzle
  • Build logical thinking as children self-correct using the visual image cue

🎯 How to Use

  • Print puzzles on cardstock for durability
  • Choose either rounded-edge version (for jumbo craft sticks) or straight-edge version (for regular popsicle sticks)
  • Cut each puzzle into vertical strips following the lines
  • Laminate strips, then attach to craft sticks using strong adhesive or glue dots
  • Present the 1-10 counting puzzle first to introduce the format
  • Progress to skip counting by 2s, then 5s, 10s, and finally 3s as skills develop
  • Store each puzzle set in a labeled basket or envelope for easy rotation

🧮 Where This Fits in the Math Sequence

Skip counting is a bridge between concrete quantity work (like counting beads or counters) and abstract multiplication. In Montessori math, children first master counting by ones, then practice skip counting orally and with manipulatives before moving to multiplication tables. These puzzles offer a hands-on, sensorial way to internalize skip counting patterns — the foundation for understanding times tables later. Offer this material after your child can confidently count to 20 and before introducing formal multiplication work.
