These are to be found by the children. When we returned we would put little ones in a little basket and big ones in a big basket. we would count how many in each basket. we would make a simple chart for Mom and Dad to see what we did.

The children can chose their favorite color cap and it is easy to create a pictograph to interpret the data….Marc

They always come up with fun categories: moms/babies, farm animals/zoo animals, etc. It’s fun to watch!

Often, their thinking is more creative than my own; letting them decide opens up more possibilities, and gives them ownership of their data as well.
