This printable is pretty straightforward. Have your toddler cut out the numbers on the bottom of the page (the ones with the dotted lines). And then glue them into the correct place on the number chart. 
Your child may need to keep counting to 12 to figure out what number is missing. Which is a great way for them to practice counting!


This is a really fun printable kids activity. The rectangles are pretty big which makes it easier to cut. It’s also great practice to count the numbers and see what is missing. I hope your preschooler enjoys this cut and paste page as much as mine did.

Frequently Asked Questions
What age can toddlers start cutting?
Most toddlers can start with safety scissors and simple snipping around 2 1/2 to 3 years old, with close supervision.
Do I need to laminate the printables?
Laminating is not required, but it makes printables last much longer with repeated use, especially if you want to reuse them.
How do cut-and-paste activities help my toddler?
They build fine motor skills, hand-eye coordination, and pencil grip, all while practicing letters, numbers, or colors.
