Numbers MTM

The theme for today's Muffin Tin Monday is Numbers. We decided we would do alittle counting and number recognition practice. I put a pile of numbered cards on the table and told each child to get a certain color.

Then they had to count each food item and put the correct number card in the muffin cup.




This activity was too easy for Aidman (would have been better with higher numbers for him), but was perfect practice for both of the girls who just turned 3.


We had 1 carrot, 2 oranges, 3 slices grilled cheese, 4 sugar snap peas, 5 gummie bears, and 6 peanuts. It was a yummy lunch!

Fantastic idea! I'll do this another time, Froglet counted first five and then seven pieces of red pepper today (there were nine!) although they were in a red cup so hard to see.

I just wander where them gummy bears came from?

That is so cute and the colors are awesome (I love bright lunches, but my children seem to be on a boring colored food kick).

You asked about the Strawberry Shortcake picks--they were on my daughter's birthday cake from Kroger. I washed them off and saved them for future uses. :o)

Awesome idea and great counting game! I'm going to try this with my kiddos, but need to buy some muffin tins first :o)
