🐻Count. Balance. Drop.🐻⠀
⠀
It’s easy to set up, simple yet challenging, and it’s a lot of fun! ⠀
⠀
💜You need cups (wider cups are easier, narrow are harder), tape, bear counters or something else small that you have a lot of (think coins, Cheerios, legos, etc.), scissors and a marker. ⠀
⠀
Place strips of tape across the top of cups (sticky side down). I did one strip of tape for the numbers 1-3, and multiple strips for 4 and 5. You can adjust how thick of tape you want across as needed for your child. Write one number on the top of the tape of each cup. We did numbers 1-5 so we had 5 cups. Give your child the counters and the scissors. ⠀
⠀
Have your child pick a cup, count the correct number of counters to match the number on that cup, balance that number of counters on the tape, then cut the tape to drop the counters into the cup.⠀

🖤This is a little trickier than it looks but tons of fun! There were a few times my son had the bears drop outside the cup because he balanced them on the tape too close to the side. ⠀
It was great to see him problem solve when the bears didn’t drop in correctly. I had extra strips of tape handy to re-tape that cup so he could try again. This activity also had him practice counting, fine motor skills, and cutting.
