Free printable counting mats
I created these free printable counting mats and laminated them so that my three-year-old could fill the nests with “eggs” – brightly colored gems I bought at Michaels.
He did really well with the nests up to five. After that he needed my help.
Such a pretty activity for spring!
P.S. Due to a few reader requests, I’ve updated the pdf so that it includes #1-20. I think some of the nests will be overflowing. 😉

I just purchased the laminator you suggested as a result of the link. Just so Scotch knows that paying you for advertising worked 🙂
Anna Geiger says
Ha! 🙂 Actually Scotch has no connection to me — but when you click on an Amazon link and make a purchase I get a small percentage as an Amazon affiliate. Thanks for doing that– and I DO love my laminator 😉

Katie says
Wow, just to reiterate what everyone else has been saying, your site is absolutely amazing!! Thanks for taking the time to so generously share. I was a 2nd grade teacher for 12 years & am now a SAHM with my 2 young children. I have decided to home school them for pre-school due to the pre-schools near my house being very expensive. Even though I have a dozen years of teaching under my belt, I am clueless on where to start for teaching a 2 year old other than lots of books so I appreciate all your activities and ideas! Can’t wait to look through more of your ideas!
Anna Geiger says
Thank you so much, Katie, your comment really made my day! I know what you mean, not being sure where to start with your own kids. That was my inspiration to start this blog, and I’ve learned so much along the way. It’s fun to share it!

Desiree Russell says
I love your stuff! Thank you so much for doing this! It’s amazing. My only complaint…I spend hours here when I should be doing other stuff. LOL!
I do have a suggestion/request. I would love a couple of these that work with 0. I teach kinder and find some kids really struggle with what 0 means, especially when we get to addition. These can be a great intro to adding by putting two nests together and counting them together.
Anna G says
Thanks for your suggestion, Desiree! At this time I don’t have plans (or the time) to edit this freebie, but I’ll keep it in mind for the future :).
