My Numbers Mini Books: Set of 10 Bug Mini Books (Free Printable) Post Preview: Children can work on counting and number recognition, along with simple reading, with this free set of 10 My Numbers Counting Books for preschool and kindergarten.


I really love using mini books with early learners. I have written about them and shared printable mini books many times.

Though I also used mini books when I worked in the public school system, my most fond memory of using them was with the preschool class I taught for a couple of years in our homeschool co-op. I had a new one for them to do each time we met. The kids knew that I would have one for them to do and eagerly anticipated it. I think there’s just something special for kids to have their own small book.

The free set that I’m sharing this week is a set of ten My Numbers Mini Books. Yes, that’s right – ten mini books and they’re all free! Plus, they have a fun “bug” theme.

My Numbers Mini Books: Set of 10 Bug Mini Books

This printable set of mini books for kids has a focus on counting, number recognition, and just a little bit of simple repetitive reading. The 10-page printable activity has fun bug pictures for kids to color or paint. Each page of the printable makes a separate four page mini book.

While the pictures in the bug counting mini books can be colored with crayons, there are many other ways for kids to be creative with this set beyond just crayons. (Though, honestly – I think crayons are pretty fun too.)

Some options beyond simply coloring each page with crayons:

You can give your children or students the option of painting the pictures instead of coloring with crayons. Or, they can still color, but use markers, colored pencils, or even pastels.

Yes, it could add more mess and a little more prep work, but it can be fun to mix things up a little bit. Plus it uses their fine motor skills in a different way.

There are also other ideas for art supplies to use here.

What’s included in the My Numbers Mini Books Printable Set?

The free printable packet is a 12-page download. It includes:

  • Packet cover
  • Terms of use and directions page
  • My Numbers Counting Book Set for Making Mini Books – this includes ten full sheet pages to make ten mini books, with each mini book being four pages

Each mini book features the following pages:

1. A cover with “My Number (the number) Book” – for example, there is a “My Number 3 Book”

2. A butterfly with the number of polka dots that corresponds with that mini book theme. So, the three book has a butterfly with three polka dots on it, which children can color in the manner of their choosing. Under the butterfly, the number is spelled out in written form and students can trace it.

3. A bug with the correct number of dots to correspond with that mini book theme. Children can color the bug and dots. Under the bug, the number is spelled out in written form and students can trace it.

4. A page with a large number written in numeral form. Ideas for how to use this page:

  • Rainbow Writing – students can trace the inside and outside of the number multiple times with a variety of colors of crayons
  • Coloring – students can color in the number in the color of their choosing
  • Pipe Cleaner – students can bend a pipe cleaner to fit inside the shape of the number

Each mini book will be predictable for kids because of the repetitive nature of the booklets. This is good for pre-readers and those learning to read individual words.

How to Assemble Your Bug Numbers Mini Book

1. Print out your booklet page. Each page is a separate mini book, so you can decide whether to print them all out at once or to just print them as you need them. (On the plus side, the whole mini book is printed on just one side of the paper. So you don’t even need to figure out duplex printing.)

You can print out the pages of the mini books on white printer paper or white cardstock.

2. Fold the page to make your number book. Using the dotted lines as your guide, fold the book in half horizontally. Then, using the dotted lines again, fold the book in half vertically.

3. Have students color all of the pictures and trace the words on each page of their mini book.
