Smart Snacks Number Pops

10 ice cream pops with 10 matching shells are sure to be a sensory delight for kids! And these sweet treats are better than sugar to stimulate the brain! Count up colored dots on the ice cream pops and match the answer with a numbered shell. This activity is a fun time of matching and imagination and helps children understand the relationship between numbers and quantity.

There are so many ways to play and math is reinforced with each one!

- Mix all the pops and shells up and have children take turns finding a match.

- Place all the pops in numerical order.

- Hide the pops around the room and have children race to find matches.

- Take turns – have one child count the dots on a pop and have another child find the corresponding shell.
