Cut some simple flower shapes from construction paper or fun foam. Provide bug counters. Give each child one to five flowers and a different number of bugs. Ask them, “Do you have more flowers or more bugs?” Show them how to line the objects up to compare them or how to match one bug to one flower and discover if there are any left over. Repeat this activity often, using different manipulatives and shapes to go with them.
