About this resource

Bats Counting to 10 Playdough Mats is a counting activity for Early Years and Year 1 children learning numbers 1-10. Students will love creating tiny bats with playdough to place on fun bat-themed counting mats. This playful maths resource includes 10 counting mats, one for each number 1 through 10. Every mat features a different friendly bat character. To use, students roll playdough into small balls and place the "bat" pieces onto the mats, counting carefully while ensuring one-to-one correspondence between each bat and number. Teachers can implement this activity in small groups or centres to assess counting skills. The durable PDF mats can be laminated and reused, making prep easy. This engaging and festive resource is ideal for nocturnal animal or Halloween themes. It develops fine motor skills and number recognition while keeping little ones entertained. Use clay or playdough alternatives like pom poms if needed.
