Centers puzzles

 think they are from Carson Dellosa about a million years ago.

I have these frogs!

I bought them years and years ago.

There are three sizes of frogs.

Many colors and logs that the small frogs can sit on.

There are cards, too, so the kids can follow the patterns

They start in morning bins and move to centers.

In the white bin

I drew the faces on the cups.

The snowballs were from Target, I think.

The cups just sit in a bin, and the kids toss yarn  pom-poms

into them and call out the number they sank the pom-pom.

Besides our fine motor table, I added these trays.

These are super small trays.

I have a bag for each number.

Yellow tray- random cards- I have zero idea where they came from.

Blue tray- Number Blocks cards from a set. 

Number cards from some people I bought this summer.
