3. Counting Seeds Activity
You can use dried pumpkin seeds for this activity or painted beans (made white to look like pumpkin seeds) if that is easier! Simply take the blank template and give you students the seeds.

To do this they will need to count the seeds pictured and then also make sure they count-out the correct amount.
