Guessing games are usually really successful with young children as the anticipation builds as each child pulls the cookie out. When they count the chips on one side, be sure to reinforce the activity by then flipping the cookie over to make sure the chips match the numeral.

I had the children close their eyes and pick a cookie in the jar and try to guess what number they got, and if right put on the side if wrong put back in the jar and do again, also the children also count how many chips are on the cookie to learn and recognize the number along with the colors.

I am so glad the children are enjoying them. I can see that the cookie jar could create some frustration in children waiting for their turns. Try to use it in ways that all three children get to pull one out during the same activity so they can be reassured that they will get a turn.
Have you tried playing \”Who stole the cookie from the cookie jar\”?

Oooooh! We would love to hear about it. What did you do? How did it go? What would you do differently?
