Millie & Biscuit

The 4 Times Table: Kitten Picnic

It’s a sunny day for the Kitten Picnic, where things come in fours! Every kitten has 4 paws (and wears 4 tiny booties), every plate holds 4 strawberries and the lucky clovers have 4 leaves.

The 4 times table

  • 1 × 4 = 4
  • 2 × 4 = 8
  • 3 × 4 = 12
  • 4 × 4 = 16
  • 5 × 4 = 20
  • 6 × 4 = 24
  • 7 × 4 = 28
  • 8 × 4 = 32
  • 9 × 4 = 36
  • 10 × 4 = 40
  • 11 × 4 = 44
  • 12 × 4 = 48

Magic trick: Times 4 is double, then double again: 4 × 6 → double 6 is 12, double 12 is 24.

Seek and Find

Look carefully at the picture of the Kitten Picnic and find:

  • 🐱 Find the 3 kittens in booties. Each kitten wears 4 booties. 3 kittens × 4 booties = 12 booties.
  • 🍓 Find the 4 plates of strawberries. Each plate has 4 strawberries. 4 × 4 = 16 strawberries.
  • 🍀 Find the 2 four-leaf clovers. Each has 4 leaves. 2 × 4 = 8 leaves.
  • 🐱 Millie and her kitten Biscuit are hiding in every picture. Can you spot them?
