Free Preschool Counting Mats for Mini Erasers

Counting Mats and mini erasers is a great activity for young children to practice counting, compare more and less, and to have a visual of how many are in that number. You can use these number mats in different ways.

The simple mat includes an amount of circles (for small erasers, Lego bricks, pom poms, stickers, or balls of play dough), the corresponding number, and the number word. I included the number word because these counting cards can be used with all different ages, from toddlers to Kindergarten students. Another great way to use it for writing practice is to laminate the pages and use dry erase markers to encourage older children to trace the numeral and number word.

The counting mats touch on many early Math skills:

one-to-one correspondence
number sense
number recognition
fine motor skills

These number cards are a great tool to use with your little learner. They are also a fun way for a preschool teacher to provide extra practice in a small group or in Math stations.

It is so much fun to use little erasers with different themes. That’s one of my favorite things about this free printable. Print it once and change the theme by using different fun erasers. For example, is your child interested in the idea of robots? Grab mini robot erasers and start counting. I find a lot of erasers at dollar stores or Oriental Trading Co.
