Great for number formation and counting! These A4 size mats can be laminated for use as playdough mats. Children can mould the shape of each number in playdough and also make the sea animals. Additionally, they may be used for number writing practice with a whiteboard pen or used as stimulus for a loose parts activity. For example loose parts may be placed inside the lines of the numbers (also developing fine motor control) and placed onto each sea animal to aid in counting the correct quantity.

Versatile blank crab sheet. Ideal for exploring symmetry using a variety of different media. Children could create their own colourful designs attempting to create symmetry themselves. Alternatively you could try painting a pattern on one side and folding along the dotted line which presses the paint onto the other side, thus creating a symmetrical design.
