Jellybean Counting Mats | Sensory and Math Activity

How many jellybeans go in the jar? These self-correcting number mats are designed to help your child practice their number recognition and number sense. Children can use play dough to create the jelly beans–allowing them to practice their fine motor skills–or they can use other small objects like buttons, beads, or actual jellybeans! To fully utilize these templates, laminate them or cover them in packing tape to create a whiteboard.
