Read Pete the Cat and his Four Groovy Buttons by James Dean and Eric Litwin. You will need a felt shirt and 10 buttons for each child playing. Make a number cube having just the numerals one, two and three. Each player gets one shirt and places 10 buttons on top of his/her shirt. The goal is to be the first person to remove all 10 buttons. Roll the number cube and remove that number of buttons. Each time a child takes a turn, ask them how many buttons they have left on their shirt.
