BEAR 🐻 MATH

Number identification and counting is a process, and fine motor skills are a constant work in progress. On this day, we combined both with some dramatic play, which is a given anytime our bear 🐻 counters come out to play, and squeezed in some turn-taking to boot.

These particular numbered stars are from our curriculum, but you can use anything from cardboard to Post-it notes. Have the children arrange the numbers in order (1-6 in this case), and take turns rolling a dice 🎲 to determine which number they get to place the corresponding amount of bears 🐻 on.

We added the tongs as an extra challenge for them to pick up their bears 🐻 with, and they really enjoyed it. If you have a pair in your kitchen, they should work just as well.

Happy counting!
