We use these bears already to discuss large, medium, and small but this is a fun twist on that discussion.

Hi Sara, I agree with you. I use bear counters for other reasons but using them to trade so that children learn value of items teaches them not only what they think a bear is worth but also gets them to use their own thoughts to sort out logic and understanding. Having the conversation is a key element.

I also love these. There is all kinds of activities like you can have the kids match how many teddy bears are in the squares or match the colors.
