Playing This Fun Counting Game
Print out the counting mats.
Provide the child with some small manipulatives like rainbow mini erasers or pom poms. You could also consider using playdough balls.
Kids will match the number shown on the mat to the number of small manipulatives that needs to be counted out.
I always suggest laminating the mats prior to use so you can keep and use them again next time
