Felt Food
Cut felt into food shapes. I made 1 orange, 2 slices of bread, 3 lettuce slices, 4 slices of cheese, 5 pices of bacon, and 6 grapes. This is a fun way to teach counting and it is the only food that is exceptable to play with! 
The play mat is a Melissa and Doug color mat.
Great idea for little boys that love to touch things!
My boys really liked it!
