❄️⛄️ January-Themed Winter Smiles & Snowy Teeth Mats ⛄️❄️

Bring a fresh new-year winter sparkle to your literacy and math centers! These printable, colorful mats feature cheerful smiles with big, bold “teeth” students can write on with dry-erase markers—perfect for reusable practice all January long.

🎓 Literacy: Phonics & Elkonin Boxes

Use the “teeth” as Elkonin boxes for phonemic awareness and sound mapping. Say a word and have students write one sound or letter per tooth. Practice segmenting and blending in a fun, multisensory way. Let students “brush” the character’s teeth with a toy toothbrush or dry-erase eraser to check their work.

➗ Math: Skip Counting & Number Practice

Turn the teeth into a math challenge! Write numbers across the teeth and have students skip count (by 2s, 5s, 10s, etc.). Start at a random number and continue the pattern. Use for number sequencing or quick addition/subtraction practice.

🧹 Easy to Use

Print & laminate or place in dry-erase sleeves for endless reuse. Works with dry-erase markers and a simple cloth or clean toothbrush to “brush” the teeth and erase answers.

📦 What’s Included:
