Counting and Colors

L is counting out beads to match the number on each pipe cleaner flagpole.

To make:
1) cut pipe cleaners in half
2) wrap masking tape around the top
3) write each number on both sides of the tape
4) provide beads for each flagpole (bead color doesn't have to match the color of the pipe cleaner-we did for color recognition)

Have your child string the correct number of beads onto each flagpole.

This activity reinforces counting and fine motor skills.  If you coordinate the colors then it also reinforces color recognition.
