This activity can be used in a multitude of ways:

• Print out the coloured candy corn counting mats and the coloured candy corns. Laminate the mats and the individual candy corns. Have your child count out the correct number of candy corns and place them on the jar.
• Print out the coloured candy corn counting mats and laminate. Have your child create their own candy corns out of playdough and place the correct number of candy corns on each mat. They can also create their own numbers out of playdough and place them on the number.

• Print out the black and white candy corn counting mats and the black and white candy corns. Have your child colour and decorate the mats and candy corns with paints, crayons or markers before cutting out and laminating them.

Have your child create their own candy corns out of playdough and place the correct number of candy corns on each mat. They can also create their own numbers out of playdough and place them on the number.
• Counters. Instead of using the candy corns, children could use playdough to create their own balls or candy corns, or buttons, pompoms or any other counters or markers.
• There is a blank coloured and a blank black and white candy corn 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 candy corns on the jar.
• 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 candy corns or create shapes out of play dough to use as counters. An example is – place two black and white candy corns and then add three coloured candy corns. Add the candy corns together and you have five.
