These road number mats are the perfect way to integrate number recognition and play for your preschoolers! My absolutely favorite way to teach number and letter recognition is through play, so I am super excited to share these number road mats with you! When my oldest son was a preschooler, he used to love lining up his cars to make letters and numbers. These little mats make it SO easy! You can line cars up along the road or drive your cars on the roads as if you were writing them! Print extra copies and make bigger numbers! Click HERE to grab a set of Number Road Mats for free !
