  • There is a blank coloured and a blank black and white counting mat which can be used for counting numbers larger than 20. Use a dry erase marker or playdough to make a number for them and they can add the correct number of candles on the cake.
  • Extra learning with the blank mats. Once children have completed learning their numbers, they can use the blank coloured or black and white mats to work on simple addition and subtraction sums. They can use the candles or create shapes out of play dough to use as counters. An example is – place two black and white candles and then add three coloured candles. Add the candles together and you have five.
