How to Use These Gingerbread Playdough Mats

Print the mats (cardstock works best for durability).
Laminate or use page protectors for repeated use.
Roll little playdough “gumdrop buttons” to match the number on the card.
Swap playdough for mini gingerbread erasers, pom-poms, or small buttons if you prefer a no-mess option.
Make it extra fun – after filling the ten frame, let kids decorate a real (or playdough!) gingerbread boy!

Teacher Tip: Pair with a gingerbread-themed counting book or sing “Ten Little Gingerbread Men” for extra fun.

Why Ten Frame Playdough Mats Are Great for Math Skills

Ten frames are a proven tool for building early number sense. Kids will:

Recognize numbers and quantities quickly (subitizing)
Understand how numbers relate to 10 (a foundation for addition & subtraction)
Strengthen fine motor skills while rolling playdough

When learning feels like play, it sticks!
