Make learning extra sweet this fall with these Candy Corn Loose Parts Mats! Designed for preschool, pre-K, and kindergarten learners, these mats invite children to use real candy corn pieces to fill, count, and create designs — building fine motor control, pattern recognition, and early math skills in a hands-on, sensory-rich way.

What’s Included:

• 15 Candy Corn Loose Parts Mats (variety of layouts and stripe patterns)
  

What It Teaches:

• Fine motor strengthening (pinching and placing pieces)

• One-to-one correspondence and counting

How to Use in the Classroom:

1. Print and laminate each mat (portrait orientation recommended).

2. Place a small bowl of candy corn pieces on each tray or center.

3. Encourage students to fill each stripe with candy corn pieces.
