After finishing up some Valentine’s Day baking, I dumped all of the extra candy into a jar to use as treats ~ and then decided it would be fun to use it as an estimation activity for all the kids. And a yummy one too.
Everyone made their candy count guesses:
| Kaleb | McKenna | Laurianna | Zachary | |
| M & M’s | 198 | 182 | 65 | 62 |
| Kisses | 65 | 40 | 30 | 18 |
Ironically, the kiddo without the slightest clue of how many were really in the jar did the best job guessing the M&M count ~ he told me to write down the number one-nine-eight {and repeated it to me several times}.
We counted out the Kisses by groups of 5 and the M&M’s in groups of 10. The overall candy count? 262 M&M’s and 51 Kisses…which are now down a few since the kids all got a treat after the counting was complete!
Just a little extra Valentine’s Day fun!!

Such a cute idea……….I just may have to try that :-)
What a great estimate game! Kaleb was pretty close for both of them!
total fluke. :) definitely not because he actually knew {ha!}
