I was looking for a Math Mat to print so B and I could play a game and work on counting. I came across these Wonder Pets pages at Makinglearningfun.com and thought they would be perfect. They are actually called Magnet pages (which would be really fun if I had a bunch of circle magnets!).
How To Play:
1) Spin the spinner or role the dice
2) Using some sort of marker (we used cereal) place the same amount on the game mat that you spun or rolled.
3) When you fill up your mat, you are a winner!
B loved it because he was "feeding" the Wonder Pets.

How fun! I'll definitely be printing up some of these for home as well as my class. Right now, my little ones *love* Wonder Pets, and have just about worn out the DVD!
ReplyDeleteI've seen the magnet pages before, but never thought of this use for them! This is such a great idea!
ReplyDeleteI am so glad you visited and commented today! Meghan hates numbers...but loves the WP-and we only have one episode! haha
ReplyDeleteI was also a teacher. I look forward to hearing more about you and your son. How old is he?
Hi Annette!
ReplyDeleteThanks for checking out my blog! B is a couple weeks away from 30 months. Ahhh I can't believe that.
If Meghan loves the WP then this is something to try for sure. I counted for him as he put the cereal down and he counted for me.
This is really cute...I think Emily would enjoy this kind of math game!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea! My 3 yr old will love this.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the great links! Both of my boys love the WP's so I am sure this will be a big hit!
ReplyDeleteWe have been using their magnet pages for fine motor skills with dot stickers. Now after reading your post we can use them for games too! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the link to the other math mats!!!
ReplyDeleteHi Activity Mom,
ReplyDeleteI would love to know what you think of my worksheet series. I'm a retired teacher that decided to share my skills with the world. Take a quick look when you get a chance:
