Ten-Frame Pretend Play Printable Pack
This digital printable pack was lovingly created as an extension to our storybooks and playbooks that introduced ten-frame concept in counting, adding and subtracting. We hope to give your child a playful yet powerful way to see numbers come to life.
By using ten-frames in their pretend play, children begin to visualise numbers in groups of fives and tens. This simple structure helps them spot patterns, understand “how many more” to make a ten, and flexibly rearrange numbers into easier parts — skills that build a strong foundation for addition, subtraction, and later mathematical thinking.
As they fill the frames with play food, park cars, or collate coins they’re not just counting — they’re building number sense, confidence, and the joy of seeing Maths as something meaningful in their everyday world.
This digital printable pack comes with:
4 different pretend play scenarios and accompanying ten-frame templates
to be used as an invitation to play during pretend play moments with your child
print and place them somewhere accessible for your child to discover
let them think of ideas on how they can use these for their imaginative world of play!
