The top of this mat above says “For Sale 7 pineapples.” Children will identify the numeral seven, and count out seven pineapples to place on the shop hut’s ten frame. The mats include numbers 1-10. There’s also a mat without numbers for the littlest learners who aren’t counting yet. You could also use two of these mats without numbers along with number cards to count 11-20.
Children can create the pineapples with play dough to place on the mat. You can use alternatives to play dough, such as pineapple mini erasers, craft foam pineapples, pineapple sequins, or table scatter pineapples.
