More Play Dough Number Mats – 11 to 20 – free printable!



Play dough and number mats
There was such a great response to the autumn-themed play dough mats for numbers 1 to 10, that I decided to make some more. :)  These are for numbers 11 to 20, and have no theme.  I was trying to do this quickly, on little sleep, with a bad case of mommy-brain, so I just used cute clip art that I knew would appeal to M (and hopefully other children!).  We are currently working on numeral recognition of 11 to 20, and counting to 20 correctly; these have been a great help (who doesn’t love play dough?).

Print and laminate the pages, or just pop them into some page protectors like we did.  Then make play dough “snakes” to form the numerals, then play dough balls to place on each circle while counting.

We also used them for colored water dropping:colored water dropping
Play dough mats are good for fine motor skill work, as well as one to one correspondence practice and numeral formation.  You can download them here:Playdough Number Mats 11-20
  I hope you enjoy them!

Have a beautiful day! :)

A note about the Jesse Tree

Well, here I sit – gathering all of my advent stuff, and organizing it, and I find myself wondering why the Jesse Tree ornament for Isaiah is a rose (I know I knew this once upon a time). 

And then I realized that I left a scripture reference off the prayer card in the Jesse Tree packet.  SOOOOO – if you are using the packet, you may want to jot down Isaiah 35:1-2 in addition to what is already on the prayer card for that day, and the rose ornament will make a lot more sense. :)  These verses are all about how the desert will bloom with the coming of the savior – thus a blooming rose as the ornament. 

It’s not a huge Oops!, but something I thought I’d share in case anyone else was wondering the same thing!

Have a beautiful day! :)
