This is a part of the 7 Days of Winter Printables<\/a>.<\/p>\n The Winter Counting Mats is a great addition to the winter printables<\/a> on the site.<\/p>\n Counting mats are hands-on activities for practicing counting.

If you purchase via the links we may earn a small commission<\/a>.<\/em><\/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 used playdough<\/a>, the winter kids, and snowflakes<\/a> (I got our at Michaels a few years ago). You can mix up the kids that they put on the mat. There are 10 different ones to pick from.<\/p>\n You can also use this winter counting activity<\/a> with the counting mats.<\/p>\n I often laminate<\/a> You can see how we placed the snowflakes in the ten frames and use the kids on the mat.
