Snowman Play Dough Mats

These Snowman Play Dough Math Mats will have your preschool learners having fun while practicing counting and fine motor skills. These will go great during your Winter theme.

Snowman Play Dough Math Counting

The top of each mat says “[#] snowflakes are falling.” Children will identify the numeral, and count out that amount of snowflakes to place on the mat. Children can create the snowflakes/snowballs with bits of white play dough. {Just have them roll small bits of play dough into little “snowballs”.}

If you prefer to use something other than play dough, you could use white pom poms or foam snowflake shapes.

I also made a mat that does not have a number, but simply says, “Make some falling snowflakes.” This mat is for toddlers who are not ready for counting yet, but need to practice fine motor skills with play dough.

Need higher numbers than 10? Use the “toddler” mat since it doesn’t have numbers. Then simply write numbers on each mat, or have children roll a game die for the amount to count.

    Hi Karen,

    Thanks for the snowman number mats. I will use them with my math groups; and for the advanced groups, I may be able to write higher numbers to make a number book.

    Thanks!
