Thanksgiving Counting Mats
Thanksgiving will finally be upon my U.S. audience a lot sooner than you think. We, Canadians, celebrate Thanksgiving earlier in October and I have to say I’m all excited about getting turkeyed out. Sometimes, we have two Thanksgiving celebrations in one weekend with plenty of leftovers.
If you’re looking for a unique counting activity for you and the kids, check out these Thanksgiving Counting Mats. Learning in a fun environment where you’re focusing in on the upcoming holiday can create an exciting learning experience that has everyone excited as well.
