Left in the Cookie Jar

Worksheet Description

This worksheet features two empty jar illustrations labeled “Left” and “Right.” Below the jars, there are five cookie illustrations with dashed outlines, suggesting they are to be cut out. The instructions direct students to paste two cookies into the left jar and three cookies into the right jar. This cut-and-paste activity is designed to be both a fun and educational exercise for children.

The worksheet aims to teach students the concepts of left and right through a hands-on activity. By counting out and pasting the cookies into the correct jars, students practice identifying the left side versus the right side, which enhances their spatial awareness and understanding of directional terms. The task also helps develop fine motor skills through cutting and pasting. Additionally, the element of counting introduces basic math skills as students allocate the correct number of cookies to each jar.
