Materials
Styrofoam pool noodle, cut in 1 inch slices (from the Dollar Store)
Large number line or number cards from 1-6
One die
Directions
Using a shart knife, cut a styrofoam pool noodle into 1 inch slices. Lay the number line or number cards in front of your child. Go over the numerals together. Invite your child to roll the die, count the dots on the die, and then find the matching numeral. Have him make a tower with the correct number of styrofoam pool noodles on the matching numeral. Continue playing until all the numerals have been covered.
For preschool and kindergarten age children, use two or even three dice.
