As I dug through the bins, I found these oh so cute mini eraser bunnies. Mini erasers make great hands-on math manipulatives and/or manipulatives for this fun preschool fine motor game. I grabbed the last two bags left to create some sort of math activity for my preK and K kiddos. I ended up creating a super cute math inspired sensory bin-- Let's Count Bunnies!

These little mini eraser bunnies will just have to suffice!
Mini Eraser Counting Activity
I created a printable with four ten-frames. This way you are able to work on counting to 40, or beyond if you print out more than one sheet. You can also use this to practice counting by 5's or 10's. Ten frames are great for visual learners!
Materials:
- mini eraser bunnies
- shredded paper
- mini carrots
- kid-safe tweezers
- plastic container
To set up this math inspired sensory bin perfect for spring, begin by adding shredded paper to a plastic container; I used a shoe-size container so that it could easily be stored and/or switched out when not in use.
Add in desired amount of mini eraser bunnies and carrot manipulatives and you have made yourself a little carrot patch!
With the printable handy, encourage your child to dig through the "garden" to find the mini eraser bunnies. When your child has spotted one, use the tweezers to pick up the bunny and place it in a box on the ten-frame printable--- great way to sneak in fine motor skills!
Continue searching for mini-eraser bunnies and then count!
