Space Counting Mats up to 20

These Space Counting Mats are a great way to help your early learning count with confidence. Not only do they help with math and number skills, but they’re also spaced themes which are super fun!

This is a great activity for preschool learners to work on building their confidence and counting skills. And when you can combine the awesomeness of outerspace, you should do so every time!

We used these space counting mats for the kids and they were a hit every time. We used pom poms and other markers for our learning fun and the kids had a blast varying it up.

Use this as is or pair it up with a fun lesson on our astronauts or space exploration. Because this is one topic and subject that the kids are going to love!

Since so many lessons can be taught outside of the four walls, there’s no reason that you can’t use these mats for all sorts of learning fun.
