I found an adorable Candy Corn Counting Game last week on Pinterest, but the link I had was just to the photo, and not the original post. I had been unable to find the original post, but finally found it today. This was, however, after recreating the printable and blogging about it. I was going to take down my blog post, but instead decided to edit it and leave it up, as I made a slight change to my game board. The original game is adorable and is available by clicking here.
The reason I changed it is that I am working on number recognition with Super Tot and wanted him to be able to see the numbers. They are covered by the candies on the original game, so I created a version with the numbers still showing. My printable is available below.
I printed mine off landscaped, then cut the page in half and mounted the two sides back to back onto orange construction paper.
We used a single 12-sided die, but you could also use 2 standard 6-sided ones, as well. In that case, you would allow the child to choose whether to throw one or two for each turn. If the die lands on a number that still has a candy, your the child gets to eat the candy. If the die lands on a number that already has the candy removed, their turn is skipped. There are no winners with this game, as everyone gets their own treats! Enjoy!

ReplyDeleteLooks cute and would be great for my kinder kiddos who are struggling with identifying numbers. However, I am unable to print it.
ReplyDeleteIf you click on the link (not my photograph), it will take you to 4shared.com where you can download and print it. I just clicked the link and it worked fine. E-mail me at theprincessandthetot @ gmail (DOT) com if you are unable to download it, and I am happy to send you a direct link.
