What are Play-Doh Number Mats?
They’re essentially printable sheets with each number 0-10 on them. These ones include counting cubes, the number shape, and traceable numbers for them to practice writing.
You can print them out and laminate them or put them in plastic sleeves to make them reusable. Then, your child can use Play-Doh to form the numbers on the mats.
Why are Number Play-Doh Mats great?
For starters, they’re a fantastic way to help your child learn their basic numbers. By seeing and feeling the shapes of the numbers, they can better understand and remember them. Plus, using Play-Doh adds a sensory element to the activity, making it even more engaging for little ones.
Here’s how you can use Play-Doh Mats with your child:
- Print out the mats.
- Laminate the mats or slip them into plastic sleeves to make them durable and reusable.
- Set out some Play-Doh in various colors. You can use store-bought Play-Doh or make your own with a simple recipe.
- Encourage your child to pick a mat and choose a color of Play-Doh.
- Show them how to roll the Play-Doh into snakes and shape them to form the number on the mat.
- As they work, talk to them about each number. What shapes did they use to make it? Can they think of something that has that many?
- Use a dry erase marker to trace and practice writing each number.
