Rosie's Spoons and Spills

Rosie the raccoon's family is sitting down to dinner, and there are spoons to share! Kindergartners name 2, 3 and 5 fingers on one hand without counting, give each raccoon one spoon to see whether there are more spoons or more raccoons, and compare spilled red and yellow counters that are close in number. When it's hard to tell by looking, they line the counters up and match them. Every direction is read aloud, and a wrong tap gets a spoken hint and another try.
