Bee Puzzle

This bee activity is a great way to strengthen number recognition and visual discrimination. Print the puzzle onto card stock. Laminate it for durability. Cut apart the pieces and mix them up. Encourage your child or students to put the numerals in order to make the bee.
You can set this up in different ways. Put magnets on the back of the pieces to use on a vertical, magnetic surface such as an easel.
