Skip counting by 2's- math mat freebie

We are working on the solar system for science so I thought I would incorporate some other subjects into the fun. I got the inspiration for this math mat from makinglearningfun.com, but since I am an ink hoarder I revamped it :).

You can get a copy of it here. I also make number cards to go along with it which you can get here.
This pic is bad and sideways :o but you get the idea.

Luke caught on to this quickly and now counts by 2's as he goes up and down the stairs. Great skip counting reinforcement. He up until now only knew how to count by 1's or 10's. I guess next we will be on to 5's. Bring on the money! We have not done much with coin value but I think we will work on counting by 5's first just to make things a bit easier. {mainly on me} Sophie can also count by 1's and 10's and she memorized counting by 2's to 10 but I don't think she fully grasped it. No problem since
I intended it for Luke and she is just included if she wants to be.
We will visit this again in the future.

I hope someone can use this with their little ones.
