Is it just me or when you see the check box that says “I am not a robot”, you must read it in a robot voice?? Just me?? Lol! Seriously though, I cannot read one of those little boxes in a regular voice. We love pretending to be robots here and my youngest daughter thinks that phrase is the funniest thing on earth! She also loves these robot mini erasers that we picked up at the Target Dollar Spot! These robot mini eraser math activities for preschoolers are so.much.fun!
Materials for the Donut Mini Eraser Activities for Preschoolers:
Multi-colored robot mini-erasers (from the Target Dollar Spot)
Paper
3 Paper clips
Scissors or paper cutter
Simple prep: Print & laminate the activities. Cut apart the counting cards. Assemble the three spinner activities by placing the paper clips onto the paper fasteners and poking them through the center of the spinners. Attach a small piece of tape to the back of the paper fastener to secure it.
12 pages of fun robot math activities for your preschoolers!
I absolutely cannot go into Target without checking to see if there are new mini erasers. We already have a collection of them, but there are so many fun ways to use them!
Ten-Frames & Tracing Cards for Counting to 10
Use an erasable crayon or marker to trace the number words on each card. Then use the robot mini-erasers to count out the numbers as the kids cover each donut in the ten-frame.
Robot Sorting Spinner Game
To play, spin the spinner and place a robot mini-eraser of the matching color on the correct robot. This is a great time to work on naming colors because they will have the opportunity to repeat them many times. You can also work on counting when the child decides they are done spinning.
Count the robots on each color and discuss which robot has the most, the least or the same.
Robot Graphing Spinner
Spin the spinner and place a robot mini-eraser in the correct column on the graph. Continue until one of the colors reaches the top of the graph. This is another great opportunity to discuss more than, less than or equal.
Robot I Spy Counting Game
Use the robot mini-erasers as place markers as the children count each color of robots
. Record the answers on the bottom of the mat with an erasable marker or crayon (we LOVE Crayola Dry Erase Crayons!)
Robot Pattern Mats
3 levels of difficulty make these pattern mats perfect for everyone! Work on ABAB, ABC, and AABB patterns with these simple pattern mats.
Robot Counting to 10 Mat
A simple mat for counting to 10! The kid will fill in each box and count up to each number. Great for reinforcement of rote counting skills and perfect for kids who are just beginning to count since the boxes will fill up when they add the correct number of mini erasers.
Spin & Cover Color Game
Cover the correct color of robot as the child spins the spinner. Such a fun way to learn about matching & colors!

Where are you getting the erasers? I would love to incorporate these activities in my classroom, but don’t know where to purchase the erasers. Thanks for sharing these awesome resources for free!!
Kim says
The mini erasers are from the Target Dollar Spot. However, if you are unable to find the erasers, I have also included some printable robots, so that you can still enjoy the activities with your kids.

My target doesn’t have the robots or donuts! Is it something new and hasn’t made it to my town yet? I did see some super cute valentine kits that include mini-erasers. The price is $3 and you get 30 erasers & valentines. I love the bees! (hint, hint)
Kim says
I got the robots and donuts about 3 weeks ago, but different Targets have different erasers, so with both packs I have included printable options to use in place of the erasers.

I just want to thank you for sharing all your amazing and wonderful ideas, printables and encouragement! Since my daughter is just getting started with homeschooling, I was thrilled to find your site. I printed off several of the play dough activity sheets and took them, along with play dough, when I visited recently. The kiddos wanted to play with it everyday! You are very creative and very generous. Bless you!

Great counting experience for my grandson! I hope to find the robot erasers at my target! Thank you!
