I saw the idea for this sweetheart candy counting game at No Time For Flashcards. I picked our candies up at the dollar store and quickly traced some hearts with numbers 1-12 on a large piece of construction paper. Bekah had to put the correct number of candies on each heart.
Bekah did well with this, but to be honest, became quickly bored. However, we did it right before dinner and she was hungry, so that could be why it didn't last long!
Here's how far she got...pretty good for being hungry!
Very cute idea! I will have to write that down for next year! My 2 yr old is not quite there yet and my 4 yr old is past that. I love the idea though! Great job!
