Blast off into learning with this Space Counting Learning Mat Printable!
 
Designed for toddlers, preschoolers, and kindergarteners, this hands-on math activity lets children count snacks or small objects and place the correct number into colorful circles shaped like planets. Each planet corresponds to a number 1–5, helping kids practice number recognition, counting, and one-to-one correspondence in a fun, space-themed adventure.
 
Children will have fun counting as they place their favorite “space snacks”—like cereal, beads, pom-poms, or mini erasers—on each planet! Along the way, they’ll build fine motor skills and grow early math confidence.
