Easter Cut and Paste Numbers Worksheet

This Easter cut and paste worksheet gives preschool children structured practice with counting and number recognition. Children count the bunnies in each group, then cut out the numbers 1, 2, and 3 and paste the correct number in the matching box. This format provides clear practice with one-to-one correspondence while reinforcing number identification.

The cutting portion strengthens hand muscles and improves scissor control. Pasting the correct number encourages children to check their counting before gluing. Because the numbers are limited to 1–3, the task remains focused and appropriate for preschool and early kindergarten math work.
