A friend recently shared a picture of one of her preschoolers working on one of the Community Helper Vehicle puzzles I created. One of her students was placing the pieces on an oil drip pan. She shared with me that she placed magnetic tape on the back of each of the pieces so they would stick to the pan. That inspired me to create three sets of number counting and skip counting puzzles that have fall themes.
You will find that each of the sets contains a 1-10 puzzle, an 11-20 puzzle, a skip counting by 2’s puzzle, and counting by 5’s puzzles. Today’s set of puzzles features a tree with fall-colored leaves. You will find one of the remaining sets has a Halloween theme and the other has a Veterans Day theme.
Downloading the Counting and Skip Counting Puzzles
You can download the Fall Tree Counting and Skip Counting Puzzles onto your computer and open them in Acrobat Reader. While you could print them out in black and white, I would recommend printing them out in color.

You will probably want to print them out onto Neenah Exact Index, 110 lb, 8.5 x 11 Inches, 250 Sheets, White, 94 Brightness. Your puzzle sections will last longer on the thick paper with the plastic laminated on it.
