I know that my girls love having consistent while they are learning. I often found when something works for them I would make several different seasons of the activity. That is why I’ve been going the counting mats over the different seasons.<\/p>\n

This free Christmas counting mats were something that someone had requested because her class loved them. I love doing requests every now and then when I have time.<\/p>\n

These match up with Christmas Addition & Subtraction Mats<\/a>. That makes it fun to have when you have kids are different learning levels to have something similar.<\/p>\n

The mats are great for kids working on their numbers 1 to 10. They are simple and easy to set up and make a great math center. Plus each one has a ten frame which is a great way for kids to work on learning. They use a lot of ten frames later in Kindergarten and for review First Grade.<\/p>\n

Each of the mats has the number written out, a number for playdough, and ten frames. You can see how I set up each of the mats. I use playdough<\/a>\"\", christmas foam balls<\/a>\"\", and red glass gems<\/a>\"\". You can mix up the items you use on the tree. I have used the little light bulbs on it a few times.<\/p>\n

I often laminate<\/a>\"\" the pages if we are going to use them often. But if I’m out of laminating sheets I’ll use a sheet protector<\/a>\"\" on the pages. Plus that makes it easy to store. I just put all the pages in the sheet protector.<\/p>\n

You can see how we placed the glass gems in the ten frames and use the foam balls on the tree.<\/p>\n
