Create mats to give counting a purpose. Create and collect items to go along with any topic. Use fun foam, card stock and 3-D manipulatives: honey jars and bees, fish bowls and goldfish crackers, insects and leaves, black dots and ladybugs, apples and trees or cows and barns. Encourage the children to touch and count the manipulatives as they place them on the mat.
