Here’s a cute
little set of play dough mats for counting to 10! We have loved using
these mats to practice our number skills! I love that they address so
many skills, but it still feels like play.
These can be used to represent different stages of a tree as well. You can put ‘flowers’ on the tree like we did. Or you could put apples, peaches, pears, cherries… Anything you can think of. To prepare the pages simply print and laminate. Alternatively, you can slide the pages into page protectors. Rolling out the dough for form the numbers helps develop the fine-motor skills required for writing, in addition to teaching little ones number formation. Have them trace the letters with their finger or a dry erase crayon. Then, have them fill in the ten-frame to represent the same number. But most importantly, have fun!!
