3 Little Bears???

For this Bear themed snack day, my son and I counted out 8 gummy bears.  Then gave each gummy bear 2 fish to eat.  Since bears love honey, we also gave each bear 2 honeycombs.  We created these goody bags for each child in his preschool.  Then Snack Time at preschool can become Math Time, by the teacher asking questions like "Sort the goodies in your bag any way you want?" (Then asking kids why they chose to sort them in the ways they did.), "Do you think you have 3 Little Bears in your baggy?"  "How many bears do you think you have?"  "How many gummy bears (goldfish/honeycombs) do you actually have?", "J, did you get the same amount as S?" "Do you have enough fish to give each bear 1 fish?"  "Do you have enough to give each bear 3 fish?"

The other snack we created were these bear racing cars.  My son counted out four wheels for each car, one bear, and half of a gummy lifesaver.  After assembling the cars, we placed them on Bacon Street.  You can have the children determine which racing bear is in 1st place, 2nd, etc.
