Halloween Count and Drop- fine motor and math for kids

Halloween Count and Drop- fine motor and math for kids

What I used:

50 bat erasers (1 pack)

clear tray

Halloween container

tongs

What we did:

I set this up for him during the little ones’ nap time.  He sat down and started counting and dropping the bats inside the container.  This was great for him to practice counting up to 50.  

For younger kids this can be a great fine motor skills activity as just a bat drop and no counting.

For the older kids you can even set up simple math with this setup.  Put 2 erasers out and ask them to make 5.  They would have to find 3 more erasers to get the right answer.

He had a lot of fun counting and dropping the bats.  After  a while he got tired of using the tongs and just used his hands.  We hope you and the kids can enjoy this too.
