Christmas Linking Cubes Tuff Tray Pack

Bring hands-on maths, fine motor development and festive creativity to your early years setting with the Christmas Linking Cubes Tuff Tray Pack.
Perfect for continuous provision or small-group challenges, this inviting activity encourages children to build a variety of Christmas-themed pictures using linking cubes while practising counting, colour recognition and problem-solving.

The pack includes:

  • A challenge prompt: “Can you build the Christmas pictures using the linking cubes?”
  • A question card asking, “How many of each coloured cube did you use?”
  • Colour keyword cards featuring colours such as red, yellow, pink, green, purple, orange, blue, brown, black and white
  • Cube picture cards for children to recreate festive images including a candy cane, snowman, reindeer, present, Santa, wreath, Christmas tree, stocking, Santa hat and bauble
  • Photo cards showing real-life versions of each Christmas object to support visual connections and vocabulary building

These picture cards offer clear colour-coded designs, allowing children to independently count and match cubes to recreate the image.

This festive tuff tray pack supports key areas of the Early Years Foundation Stage:
Mathematics – Number & Numerical Patterns

  • Children count cubes, compare quantities and use 1:1 correspondence as they build each picture. The question card promotes deeper thinking about totals and colour grouping.

Physical Development – Fine Motor Skills

  • Clicking cubes together strengthens dexterity, finger strength and hand–eye coordination—essential for future writing.

Expressive Arts & Design

  • Building Christmas-themed models encourages creativity, composition skills and imaginative talk.

Communication & Language

  • Real-life photo cards prompt discussion around object names, colours, shapes and festive vocabulary.

Understanding the World

  • Children explore familiar cultural symbols of Christmas through hands-on construction and visual matching.

Whether used as a festive maths challenge, a continuous provision enhancement or a focus activity, the Christmas Linking Cubes Tuff Tray Pack brings joyful, purposeful learning to your classroom.
