Christmas Lights Counting Mats

This activity can be used in a multitude of ways:

• Print out the coloured counting mats and the coloured counters. Laminate the mats and the individual counters. Have your child count out the correct number of counters and place them on the mat.
• Print out the coloured counting mats and laminate. Have your child create their own counters out of playdough and place the correct number of counters 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 counting mats and the black and white counters. Have your child colour and decorate the mats and counters with paints, crayons or markers before cutting out and laminating them. Have your child count out the correct number of counters and place them on the mats.
• Print out the black and white counting mats and the black and white counters. Have your child colour and decorate the mats and counters with paints, crayons or markers before cutting out and laminating them. Have your child create their own counters out of playdough and place the correct number of dots on each mat. They can also create their own numbers out of playdough and place them on the number.
• Counters. Instead of using the counters, children could use playdough to create their own balls, or buttons, pompoms or any other counters or markers.
• 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 counters on the mats.
• 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 counters or create shapes out of play dough to use as counters. An example is – place two black and white counters and then add three coloured counters. Add the counters together and you have five.
