Printable Numbers 1-20 Summer Play Dough Mats

With summer around the corner, I wanted to put together a set of these numbers 1-20 play dough mats that included flip-flops and beach balls. Because, this is one of our favorite grab-and-go activities.

 

Not only are these such a quick and easy activity, they are also a great multi-sensory tool for teaching because they engage the hands, as well as, the mind.

All of my kids enjoy the challenge of these mats, but my youngest benefits the most from this hands-on instruction as she is learning her numbers.

Using play dough, I have my daughter practice a mat. If it’s her first time with a particular number, I help her with counting, ten/twenty frames, and number/letter formation as needed.

 Play Dough Alternative

I know I’ve shared this before, but a great, gluten-free alternative to play dough is Mad Matter. It is super soft, doesn’t dry out, is much easier to clean up, and doesn’t stink.
