    count the number of petals and match them to the number on the box
    1. For our older preschoolers (4-5 years old), practise 1 to 1 correspondence counting up to 12 by identifying how many petals each flower has before finding its space in the box.
    2. Counting becomes more difficult as flowers have more petals and preschoolers can also practise counting in a group or circle (remembering where they started), find some tips for this below.

      Tips for counting in a circle for preschoolers:
