The children colored a coloring sheet with fish / ocean creatures on it.  They then glued the correct number of sparkles to match each fish's number.

Literacy Extensions:
- Practice counting while eating.  Have your child count the number of things they are eating (i.e. 10 chips, 2 carrot sticks, 1 sandwich, etc.).
- A traditional clock is a great way to practice counting and number recognition.  You can point to each number as you count.  You can ask your child to point out random numbers on the clock.
