Instructions:
1. Drop 1-2 bear counters in a water filled ice cube tray and freeze overnight
2. Once frozen, put ice cubes in a plastic bin or water table
3. Fill a spray bottle with warm water
4. Have your child spray the ice cubes until melted and sort by color (we did this in the empty ice cube trays)
Extension Ideas:
-Count how many of each color
-Graph the bears by color
- Talk about the quantities of each color using words like "more than," "less than"
-Make simple math problems for your child to solve
Examples:
"How many blue and red bears are there altogether?"
"How many more yellow bears are there than orange?"
"Are there more yellow or purple bears?"
I hope you enjoy this activity as much as we do!
