These counting fall leaves mats are a fun way to encourage counting to 10 and are effective for preschool, Pre-K and Kindergarten kids.

Counting Fall Leaves

All kids need lots of experience with numbers within 10 because they’re such an important building block. These Counting Fall Leaves mats encourage kids to count and re-count, to check and re-check which is excellent for encouraging independent learning.

How to prepare

Print off the three color or black and white pages you want to use. Cut the tree squares to separate and cut out the leaves. Store them together in a small ziploc bag. Laminate the counting mat and individual pieces if you wish.

How to use

• Put the counting mat in front of your child with the trees on one side of the mat and the leaves on the other.
• Your child can randomly choose any tree card and place it on the white square.
• Count how many leaves are on the tree card.
• Count out that many leaves and place them on the tree.
• Double check by re-counting the leaves on the tree card to make sure it’s the same number.
• Clear the leaves off the tree and choose a new tree card!
