Count the Popcorn
Materials Needed:
Popcorn boxes (plastic popcorn boxes are available at most dollar stores).
White or yellow construction paper
Permanent marker
Circus stickers

What to Do:
Cut out puffy popcorn shapes from construction paper and  write  numerals on them (for older children write double digit numerals or  number words) then laminate for durability.
Fill popcorn boxes with popcorn.
Have children take turns reaching into the popcorn box and take out a piece of popcorn.
Have children attempt to read the number to you.
If the child tells you the correct number, they may hold onto that piece of popcorn. If they are wrong, they need to return it to the box. Then, the next child takes a turn.  Continue  in this manner until there are no more popcorn shapes left in the box.
Reward children for participating with a circus sticker.

*You could also write numbers using a black permanent marker on foam packing peanuts.
