Materials
1-2 small pails (Dollar Section at Target Stores)
Blue Pom Poms
Number cards or dice
Tray for work space
Directions
Place 1 or 2 small pails on the tray with a pile of blue pom poms. Using number cards or a die, invite your child to roll the die or draw a number card and place that number of “blueberries” in the pail. For an added fine motor challenge, encourage your child to use a pair of tongs for picking up the pom poms. Count out loud as the “blueberries” are placed in the pail.
