Gather clean egg cartons. Cut them in half lengthwise, then in half again crosswise to create sections of three cups each. Place manipulatives in the cups. Some sections will have one itemin one cup, some two and some three. Give a section of egg carton to a child and ask him/her to count the items inside, touching each one while counting. You could also give manipulatives to the child to count out into the cups.
