dinx67 posted a link to a great minibeast pack on the Woodland Trust Nature Detective website. The pack includes a lovely set of top trump cards. They're a little small and hard to read for younger children, so I've used the sites criteria and numbers to create a simplified version.
These no prep, easy and engaging printable minibeasts maths activities are sure to delight your kindergarten, day-care, early elementary, pre-primary and first grade learners when working on the interesting minibeasts topic.
The use of minibeasts graphics to enforce the 1 – 10 numbers and early maths concepts are sure to capture your learners and allow them to learn early numbers quickly

The worksheets have also been produced in a black and white printable set and include a cover should you wish to make this a booklet
