I just love this counting activity because there is so much you can do with it.

I saw a similar one by IG mom @girlgangandco and knew the kids would be all over it. So it really is a simple set up with tons to do. Cut triangles out of recycled boxes, add then add a tray, a muffin pan, or a recycled egg carton (anything that has divided compartments would work best) and fill it with all the fun little embellishments you have at home (stickers, buttons, pompoms, bells, mini erasers etc. you get the idea). I lay it all out and the kids first add a clothes pin with a number to the “tree” and then decorate it with that many items. Once they are done decorating all the trees I  have them sort the items and put it back as part of the clean up. I also let them decorate a tree after they are done with stickers, markers and a few other embellishments. Another favorite at home- stickers and gluing!
