Breakfast/Snack build a number fruit train. This may require a little work. Make individual or depending on your children a rebus chart of the directions. Individual mats will help the children with one to one correspondence. Here's the food. Graham crackers, vanilla yogurt, cheerios, and several liked fruits. I used this to introduce new fruits such as, kiwi, strawberries, mango and blueberries. Each child had to serve themselves 5 grahams and 10 cheerios. They spread the yogurt on each graham (glue). On the rebus show how many pieces of fruit they may have. Put the fruits in groups on each graham. The cheerios are the wheels. This lesson includes counting, one to one correspondence, sorting, reading, literacy, social skills, cooking, nutrition, language and fun. My class loved it and has asked to do it again.

Make large flash cards with a number on each one on one side, and on the back have them draw that amount of things....
Or give each child a flashcard and have a pile of "things" on your desk. One at a time, have each child come up and count out X amount of things. You could help and then when they have them, they can flip the card facing the class, have the class say aloud the number, and all together, count of the "things" and place in a bowl or back into the pile!!

Use plain white paper or 4X6 cards.
Make matching pairs.
Easier ones:2 stickers on page 1 to match with 2 stickers on page 2
Harder ones: The numeral "3" to match with 3 circles/stickers/etc.
If you make the math materials of sturdier materials you could use them later for addition and subtraction.

Try using something they relate with and like. Anything will do. To make them even more receptive to the idea of numbers you need to act excited about it also. Rewarding correct groups of answers with a small healthy treat works for motivation. Try not to teach longer than about 30 minutes at a time. Try not to teach them when they are tired or hungry. MAKE IT FUN! As long as they are learning your not doing it wrong at those ages.

Counting, grouping and adding food small and finger one would be good.
If you want to steer away from real food. Try cutting out pictures of food from magazines and counting and grouping them.

their favorite candy and a table. Set them out and if they get adding or subtracting right, let them eat the problem.
