For this activity, I let my babies roll the colorful foam dice & then we count the dots. Dutch, my now 3 year old, practices writing the letters with a dry erase marker. If your kiddo is writing words now then they have that option also. We're not there just yet. Then I let them count out some objects of the corresponding number to place in the final box at the bottom. If you have a more advanced child then you could use the different colored dice to introduce some basic addition or subtraction. How easy & fun is that?!
There really are so many fun things that you can use for the counting box. Use anything that you have around the house. You might have school supplies already, or you could use rocks from the back yard or dried beans from the pantry. I'm going to include the links for my supplies below, but honestly we use this a lot during snack time, so food is a great choice for counting! Also you could use these dot markers or dot stickers if you wanted to.
