How to do prepare these math activities?

The first tip I have for you is to laminate these mini eraser counting grids so that you can have hours of active, playful activities learning to count with preschoolers, who are notoriously rough on paper.

If you don’t have a laminator, you can use dry-erase pockets.

With dry erase pockets, you can easily slide paper into them and they can be protected. This also allows you to use dry erase markers on an activity without laminating first.

Let’s face it, handing the regular paper over to a bunch of preschoolers won’t last long. Save money and time with printing these candy mini eraser counting grids by protecting them before your kids start using them.

You’ll thank me later when you realize you don’t have to print these counting grids 100 times.

We also use differentiated instruction cubes to create the dice. They are some of my favorite educational tools because they can be used to create so many different activities.
