FREE Printable: Dump Truck Counting Mat

 

If you're looking for a hands-on counting activity for your preschoolers, this counting mat inspired by one of the twins' favourite books: Dump Truck's Colors by Sherri Duskey Rinker is perfect for you!. It will help your little ones practice counting 1 to 10 in a fun way.

Bonus for busy moms: this is a super low-prep activity! All you need to do is print out the file and lay out some counters (We used math counting cubes but any type of counters will work too!) and you're all set. For extra durability, you can laminate the mat but this is totally optional.

Play to Learn: FREE mini eBook!

So how are you guys doing? We're a week into the coronavirus lockdown and with all the uncertainty and bad news going around, it's really been a stressful period so I want to spread a little joy especially to our little ones at home.

So the past few days, I've been working during the kids' nap and sleeping times creating a mini ebook with a week's worth of activities for toddlers and preschoolers.

All of these activities make use of everyday materials that hopefully you already have at home. The mini eBook is FREE to download for everyone. The link to download is here.

Here's an example of one of the activities you can find in the Play to Learn mini eBook:

I hope you will find this helpful and share it with others who need it. Let's all stay optimistic and playful! We can do this together!
