Playdough Counting Cards

Materials:
  • cardstock
  • laminator
  • play dough

How to Make:
Print the play dough counting cards onto cardstock. The template is available here - print the pages you want, there are pages with circles and without, and numbers thru 20. Laminate.

How to Use:
Play dough counting cards are great for building math skills and developing fine motor skills. Put the counting cards on a cookie sheet (or flat surface), and the children make small play dough balls to put on the counting cars. When they are older, cover the dots on each card and have the children create their own design with the play dough corresponding to each number.
