How Many Dinosaurs?

Materials Needed:
Cardboard tubes (e.g. wrapping paper rolls, paper towel rolls)
Number cards (homemade or store bought)
Clip clothespins
Dinosaur stickers
Scissors

What to Do:
Cut cardboard tubes into 2 inch lengths.
Stick one dinosaur sticker onto each cardboard tube.
Shuffle number cards and place face down.
Place number cards, cardboard tubes, and clothespins where the children can reach them.
Instruct the children that whatever number they turn over will be the number of dinosaurs that can be in their "dinosaur parade".
Invite the children to take turns turning over a number card and then using the clip clothespins connect the specified amount of tubes together.

*You may want to demonstrate how to clip them together before activity begins.
