The benefits of M&Ms & Pixy Stix

Despite what you may have previously thought, they're not just for eating . . .

Mini M&Ms are perfect for teaching math!

sorting colors

counting and comparing amounts
(we also did patterns, but I guess I didn't get a pic of that).


And Pixy Stix are great for writing and letter recognition!
 
 

Of course, I set a pixy stick aside for them to eat when they are done. :)
 

Do you have any ideas you've done?  I am always looking for fun and creative learning activities!
