Kids love activities that can be hands on. I love these counting mats. They are easy for kids and they love seasonal ideas. These mats are great for Easter.<\/p>\n

These Easter Egg counting mats are great for kids that want or need a hands-on activity to learn about counting and math.<\/p>\n

I love that these make a great addition for the Easter printables<\/a> on the site.<\/p>\n

The counting mats are perfect for kids working on their numbers 1 to 10. They are straightforward and easy to set up and make a great math center for preschool and kindergarten. Each one has a ten frame which is a great way for kids to work on the start of math. <\/p>\n

Each of the counting mats has the number written out, a number for playdough, ten frames and Easter basket for the background. You can see how I set up each of the mats. I used playdough<\/a>, Easter bunnies and the easter eggs. <\/p>\n

You could also use some easter erasers<\/a> for the ten frames and plastic easter eggs<\/a> for the mat. I love that these mats can be as flexible as you want them to be.<\/p>\n

I often laminate<\/a>\"\" the pages if we are going to use them often. But if I’m out of laminating sheets or only using one time, I’ll use a sheet protector<\/a>\"\" on the pages. I might also used the sheet protectors to store them in a 1 inch binder<\/a>. I just put all the pages in the sheet protectors back to back. <\/p>\n

You can see how we placed the bunnies in the ten frames and the easter eggs on the mat. We used the playdough to build the number. You could also use the playdough to make the easter eggs or use plastic easter eggs<\/a>.<\/p>\n
