Maeve's Counting Mats: 11 Printable Playdough Counting Mats 1–10 for Preschool (Ages 3–6)

Roll it, count it, fill the ten frame! 11 printable playdough mats with Maeve and friends from What's That, Remy?, for ages 3–6.

What's inside:

• 10 counting mats, 1 to 10. Each one has a big number to roll a snake over, a picture with dough spots to fill (3 apples on the tree, 5 acorns for the chipmunk, 9 bubbles from the whale…), a ten frame, and the number word to trace

• A 0–10 number line mat with dot counts

• A one-page guide for grown-ups: five ways to play, tips, and safety

• Colour AND ink-saver versions, in Letter and A4 sizes

Why it works: rolling, pinching and pressing dough is the "heavy work" occupational therapists use to build little hands' strength and finger control. Placing one ball per circle and per box practises one-to-one counting, and the ten frame helps children see numbers as groups.

Print on card stock and laminate (or use sheet protectors) for wipe-clean, use-again play. Works with playdough, buttons, pom-poms or cereal, and dry-erase markers.

Great for preschool, pre-K, kindergarten, homeschool, OT sessions, morning bins and quiet time.

Adult supervision: playdough and small pieces are not for children who still put things in their mouths.
