| The question posed to the children was . . . |
 |
| . . . how many marshmallows fit onto the pumpkin? |
 |
| The children each received a cup with mini marshmallows and a pumpkin cut out of paper. This activity required problem solving and logical thinking skills as well as one to one counting skills. |
The children discovered that even though every one had the same size pumpkin, they each were able to fit a different amount of marshmallows onto their pumpkin. The count varied from 16 to 26. That equals some excellent counting practice and some yummy eating too!
