Ladybug Number Mats

These cute ladybug number mats are a great way for young kids to learn and practice counting from one through twenty. With one mat for each of the numbers from one through twenty, children can work on the mats in order as they learn to count and recognise the numbers and number words.

Materials Needed:

white paper
printer
laminator
colouring pencils
lead pencils
eraser
counters, markers or pom poms
play dough

To prepare, I suggest printing these mats out on white cardstock and laminating for durability. This way they can also be used for playdough.

There are many ways children can use these mats:

Children can use playdough to create the number and the number word.
Children can use a pen, marker or crayon to trace the numbers and number words. If these mats are laminated, children can use a dry erase marker to trace the words.
To practice their counting, children can make ‘spots’ for the ladybugs by making small balls of playdough or using counters, smarties, m & m’s or pom poms, adding the correct number of spots of the number on that page.

By using these fun and colourful mats, your child will be sharpening up their counting skills as well as their fine motor skills.

This pack only comes in colour, there is no black and white version available.

For one time use, allow your child to cut dots our of a piece of black paper and glue the correct number of dots onto the ladybug.

When your child has completed all 20 number mats, tack them to the wall to help and use them for daily counting practice.
