Free printable fall number order puzzles

You see, my boys have been crazy about puzzles these past few weeks. Not only the wooden toddler puzzles but actual puzzles.

Which makes me pretty happy, of course.

Puzzles are an amazing tool not only for refining fine motor skills but for cognitive development as well. They promote problem-solving, critical thinking and even memory.

Through different puzzles, children learn about different topics such as animals, community helpers, seasons, etc.

With this in mind and because Fall is rapidly approaching, I’ve created five different number order puzzles with three levels of difficulty. All of them are Fall-related. Which allows us to not only focus on solving puzzles but also to have a conversation about the season.

UPDATE: To expand the possibilities of these Fall theme number order puzzles, I’ve added the image files without numbers on them. This gives you many more flexibility and options to work with different numbers. Use them for skip counting, counting in 10s, 100s and more! 

Simply laminate the pictures and use dry erase markers to add your desired numbers. And then let the kids have some fun while learning!

From toddlers to preschoolers

For the youngest learners, the images are cut in half. They need to find the right orientation and match two pieces together. My nearly two-year-olds have mastered these almost immediately.

To make things more challenging, other options contain five and ten pieces that preschoolers should be able to solve.

On top of that, the puzzle pieces are ordered by numbers.

This way, children learn number order through solving a puzzle and building a picture. They also get to practice number recognition.

How the puzzles work

First, print out your free number order puzzles preferably on cardstock paper.

I like to laminate with my simple laminator for durability. Then I cut them into pieces.

And that’s it! Ready to play.
