I have always laughed about this. So for my youngest, we did a fun activity with a carrot number matching activity. This was a simple number line combined with two different number matching styles. She had tons of fun doing the hands-on activity.<\/p>\n<div align=\"center\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/images\/blog\/3-2016\/carrotnumbermatching.jpg\" alt=\"Carrot Number Matching Activity - to go with our reading the Tale of Peter Rabbit - 3Dinosaurs.com\" \/><\/div>\n<h2>Carrot Number Matching Activity For Kids<\/h2>\n<p>I made this a simple garden style for our numbers.
