At a Glance
A little penguin has lost her way in the snow, and only your preschool and kindergarten learners can guide her home. Tracing the numbers 1 to 10 in order through the maze builds number recognition, sequencing, number formation and pencil control. Color and black-and-white versions are both included. A perfect no-prep activity for winter or penguin weeks.
Brrr! It’s chilly out there and that little penguin has got himself lost – can your children help him find his way back to his igloo?
This Winter Penguin Number Tracing Maze is a fun, hands-on way for your children to practice number recognition, number order, and number formation. They’ll follow the numbers from 1 to 10, tracing carefully along the path to help the penguin waddle safely home.
It’s a super way to reinforce those early math skills while keeping your children focused. A wonderful winter math activity for preschool and kindergarten!
