Get some great counting practice in while incorporating an Earth Day theme too with this printable math mini book for preschoolers! I homeschool my three kids, and love making custom things for the holidays that fit into our lesson plans.
This one is so cute and has the option to add in some extra fine motor skill practice as well – so as always, I’d love to share the design with you guys!

What’s in this Earth Day Mini Activity Book?
This mini book focuses on basic counting skills – I love using a hole punch to select the right number as it’s great fine motor skill practice for the kids. Numbers nine and under are included here as well as some cute Earth Day themed pictures too!
Earth Day Preschool Math Mini Book Activity
This simple but fun Earth Day activity is perfect to add to your lesson plans! With coloring, cutting, hole punching (if you have it!) and counting all in one, this is a wonderful activity for preschoolers!
Materials
- Earth Day Math Template
- Crayons
Tools
- Scissors
- Hole Punch (if you'd like extra fine motor skills practice)
Instructions
- Fold in half lengthwise so that the pictures are showing. Fold back out.
- Fold in half width wise so that pictures remain showing. Fold back out.
- Fold in half width wise, then fold IN the quarters. Fold back out.
- Fold in half width wise again, then make a cut to in the center along the line HALF WAY only. It should still be in the "hamburger" folded position when cutting.
- Stand it up so that yours looks like min in the picture (with the slit you cut facing up towards you)
- Push in until the papers meet, then close it (it should sort of naturally close in the correct order due to the folds. Make sure that the cover and the back image are in the right spots, and everything else should be in the right spot!) Now color and you're done!
