Make goop ahead of time. Mix one part cornstarch and one part water in a large sensory tub. Add counting bears. Place in the sensory center and encourage the children to rescue the bears from the sticky mud. Choose a color and get them out using a spoon or tongs. Once they have all of one color, ask them to count how many bears they have rescued. Continue the activity, washing the bears in child-safe soapy water.
