Counting Rings

 

Here is a very simple busy bag for preschool aged children learning to count-- Counting Rings! These are a great way to help your child count from 1-10, help them visualize which numbers are greater and practice number sequencing.

To make a set for your child, you will need pony beads and large binder clips (I recommend 2-3 inch binder clips). Open one ring, add one pony bead, and close it up. Open up the second ring, add two pony beads, and close it up. Repeat with the remaining rings, adding an extra bead each time, until  you are finished.
