Instructions:  Buy a package of mixed hard candies at grocery store. Place a selection of candies in a basket or baskets (number containers depends on number of children participating).  Make sure you have no more candies in basket than number of rows on table.  We usually make a table with 10 rows.  Have student sort the candies and place in appropriate square on paper.  Once candies are sorted have student remove each piece and make an X in the square.  Use a different color crayon for each kind of candy.  After all candies are removed have student record number of each variety.  Have teacher or aide at each table to help students.
