This set of 4 Free Printable A4 Worksheets combines math practice with fine motor skills. Kids must arrange the strips in the correct numerical order to reveal a cute spring picture. It’s a self correcting activity if the numbers are out of order, the picture won’t look right!

How to Prepare and Play

Option 1: Cut & Paste Activity (One-Time Use)

Print: Give your child a copy of the puzzle page.

Cut: Have them carefully cut along the dotted vertical lines to separate the strips.

Mix: Shuffle the strips on the table so the picture is scrambled.

Solve & Glue: Ask them to find the first number (e.g., “1” or “10”). Glue that strip onto a blank piece of construction paper. Find the next number and glue it right next to the first one until the picture is complete!

    Option 2: Reusable Math Center (Teacher Favorite!)

    Print & Laminate: Print the pages on cardstock and laminate them before cutting.

    Cut: Slice the laminated page into strips.

    Store: Keep the strips for each puzzle in a separate ziplock bag or envelope.

    Play: Students can take a bag, assemble the puzzle on their desk, and then mix it up and put it back for the next student.
