Idea:

Provide muffin tins in the math center for children to sort and count small items. I have done this many times with my own kids at home while i was busy cooking. Another variation is to put slips of paper with numbers 1-6 in a six cavity muffin pan. Allow the children to roll number cubes to dictate which cavity an item must be placed.

Idea:

Cut large paper doughnuts (circles with holes in the middle) from various colors of paper. Have the children sit in a circle. Put the doughnuts in the middle. Say:
Down around the corner at the bakery shop, lots of doughnuts with the sugar on the top. Along came (child's name), all alone. He picked up a (color) one and brought it on home.
The child picks up the "doughnut" in the color that you selected and brings it to you. Continue until each child has a turn.
My kids love this!
