\n<\/div>\nThe Hanukkah Counting Mats printable is an excellent addition to the Hanukkah printables<\/a> and counting mat printables<\/a> on the site.<\/p>\n The counting mats are perfect for kids working on their numbers 1 to 8. 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 Hanukkah counting mats has the number written out, a number for playdough, ten frames, and a menorah for the background. These mats are great to use as you go through each night of Hanukkah.<\/p>\n These Hanukkah counting mats are great for kids in preschool (ages 3 to 4), prek (ages 4 to 5) and kindergarten (ages 5 to 6).<\/p>\n A fun book to read with these mats is Hershel and the Hanukkah Goblins<\/a>. It is a favorite of ours and has been enjoyed each of the eight nights.<\/p>\n We have included links to some of the products and resources we have used with this activity.

I used playdough<\/a>, candles<\/a> and dreidels<\/a>.<\/p>\n You can give them the items to match the number on the mat or more than the number. I like give more items to older kids and same amount for younger kids.<\/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 binder<\/a>. I just put all the pages in the sheet protectors so you can flip through each of the pages. <\/p>\n You can see how we placed the dreidels<\/a> in the ten frames and the candles<\/a> on the mat. We used the playdough to build the number. <\/p>\n If you are looking for more Hanukkah number printables checkout the Hanukkah Number Find Printables<\/a>.
