What You’ll Need

Hot cocoa number activity sheets (sign up for our newsletter here to gain access to our library of printables which includes this hot cocoa number activity sheet bundle)
Laminator
Laminating sheets
Or, instead of a laminator, you can use sheet protectors
3 ring binder to store the printables (if you placed them in sheet protectors) or folders to store the printables if you laminated them
Playdough (store bought) or homemade (find our easy recipe here)
Pom poms
Mini Christmas erasers

What to Do

Begin by download and printing this hot cocoa number activity sheet bundle. We recently signed up for the HP Instant Ink program and are loving it! They offer several different plans (such as $4.99 for 100 pages a month) and will automatically send you new cartridges before you even need them. We are now saving SO MUCH money (and time) on ink and I don’t feel guilty printing out new printables and playdough mats each day.

If you want to check it out, ordering through our link here will give you 3 free months. You can use any HP printer but we’ve been using this compact one and absolutely love it! The color is gorgeous and matches my decor (we’ll call that a win!) and the size is smaller than any printer I’ve ever owned which is great for small spaces (or living room/dining room offices). Between HP Instant Ink and our compact printer, my printing life truly has become so much easier to print all these fun playdough mats and activity sheets we’ve been making lately.

Sometimes we laminate our playdough mats and sometimes we slip them into sheet protectors and tuck them in a 3-ring binder. Laminating is a bit more durable but if your little ones aren’t too rambunctious with their playdough mats, sheet protectors should work just fine.

Once you’ve printed and protected your hot cocoa number activity sheets, it’s time to have some fun!

We set our sheets out, along with some playdough, pom poms, mini erasers, and beads, and let the children practice their numbers. We also included a sheet of printable marshmallows in this activity bundle, so you can cut those out and use them on the sheets too.

Something I love about these hot cocoa number activity sheets is that they encourage creativity and open-ended thinking. They also make learning about numbers and math so fun! Give your child a hot cocoa sheet (the number seven sheet, for example) and ask them to place the appropriate number of marshmallows on the grid or in the mug. You could even use real marshmallows if you’d like! Then, ask how many marshmallows they would have if they removed three. Continue doing this with various numbers and on various activity sheets. Easy peasy (and fun!) math practice!

You could also use these sheets with dry-erase markers, pencils, or crayons. We’ve used all of these in the past and the kids have had a blast with them all.

Miss 7, Miss 4, and Miss 18 months all had fun with this activity. Such a great activity for a wide range of ages!
