This two dice roll and cover game has a Christmas theme! It is perfect for kids who are starting to learn basic addition.

Thank you!My son has just started learning how to add numbers together. I’ve made a couple of dice games for him before, like roll-and-cover train and roll-a-llama (yes, really!), but so far we have only used one die at a time. And with Christmas just around the corner I thought I would make it a festive game! THEN it occurred to me that if I laminate it – the game would work really well as a placemat!
To make your own, you will need:
- Christmas Counting Game printable (available FREE from the Craftulate – you’re welcome!)
- White card
- Laminator (optional – but highly recommended, especially if you want to use the game more than once)
- Dot markers (we used these “shimmer” markers!), crayons, pencils or regular marker pens
- Two die (or two dice, whichever you prefer!)
He still counts every dot to get the total but I bet by the end of Christmas he’ll be able to do these basic combinations in his head!
