Counting Prepare a large bowl of bubbles. Invite each child to spoon bubbles into yogurt pot containers. Ask:
* Do you think that it is going to take more than five spoonfuls of bubbles to fill your yogurt pot?
* If you tip the bubbles into another container, do you think they will all fit in?
Numerals Hide some plastic or wooden numerals in the sand tray. Ask the children to see how many they can find before the one-minute sand timer runs out. Ask:
* What is this number called?
* Are any numbers the same?
* How many numbers did you find?
