Free Fun Hands-On Hanukkah Counting Mats: Numbers 1 to 8
Hanukkah is a fun 8 nights! I like that you count up each night and have fun with it. I thought we would have some fun with Hanukkah counting mats for the 8 nights.
It is a fun way each night to work on numbers. You can pull out the mat for the night and learn the count that is safe and fun for preschool and kindergarten.
The Hanukkah Counting Mats printable is an excellent addition to the Hanukkah printables and counting mat printables on the site.

The counting mats are perfect for kids working on their numbers 1 to 8. They are straightforward and easy to set up and make a great math center for preschool and kindergarten. Each one has a ten frame which is a great way for kids to work on the start of math.

Ways to Use the Hanukkah Counting Mat Printable
You are going to see a few ways to use the Hanukkah counting mats with kids.
Setting Up a Hanukkah Counting Mat Center
You can see how I set up each of the mats. I used playdough, candles and dreidels.
You can give them the items to match the number on the mat or more than the number. I like give more items to older kids and same amount for younger kids.
I often laminate the pages if we are going to use them often. But if I’m out of laminating sheets or only using one time, I’ll use a sheet protector on the pages. I might also used the sheet protectors to store them in a binder. I just put all the pages in the sheet protectors so you can flip through each of the pages.
Using the Hanukkah Playdough Mats in a Learning Center
You can see how we placed the dreidels in the ten frames and the candles on the mat. We used the playdough to build the number.
