I could not think of a more FUN and CREATIVe way to learn to count and number recognition than with play dough.

My four-year old has so much fun with these. She already knows how to count, but she still has difficulty with number recognition.

So, these activity play dough mats are perfect and keep her busy during St. Patrick’s Day season.

There are (20) play dough mats consisting of an empty pot of gold with a number (1-20). Your child is to make a gold pieces and fill the pot with  the correct amount of pieces,

How to Make Your Own Gold Play dough for St. Patrick’s Day Play Dough Mats

• 1 cup of salt
• 4 T of Cream of Tarter
