My class is very small, so we have six kiddos. They do this in small groups, but it’s available to them all day. With your class, I would probably introduce it to those that are mature enough to take care of the materials. Table scatter is technically a choking hazard to children under three, so I would make sure that the two year olds are closely supervised (and probably some of the threes will need to be too). If they’re not ready for the number association part, this would be great on a mirror, a light table, or even to have in home living. I hope you all have a blast!

I’m wondering how many kids you’re working with at a time. Do you do this with the whole class during circle time or do you break up into small groups. I work with 2 and 3 year olds and I’m trying to figure out how to differentiate for the 3 year olds without the 2 year olds walking away with the materials. Any advice for doing math activities with kids this age?

Your activities sound like a blast, Bette! Thank you for all you do for young children!

I did many of the same activities as you. I also hid the acorns in my sand table and had them hunt for nuts for the squirrels. I have number cards with squirrels and a number for them to use with this activity.

Emmy, that is definitely a long drive! At Target they were in the dollar section. I believe that there are some packages now for $3 with 150 pieces. I would definitely call the store ahead of time and check on it to make sure they’re in stock and the price that works for you.

Kristy, it sounds like you have some wonderful activities going on with your class! These table scatter acrylics never seem to get old, do they!

That’s awesome timing, Karen! The acorns definitely roll around a little bit, but my class seems to navigate that really well. I hope you all have a blast with your pumpkins! They are so fun :).

I bought the pumpkins, but didn’t get the acorns because I was afraid they would roll. I might have to go back and get them. Great ideas – thanks for sharing!
