Bubble Gum Numbers and Colors

During our week of Valentine's we made a magnetic seascape on the fridge for Maddie and she loved it so much I wanted to do something similar for our next unit. Being inspired by an episode of Ace of Cakes I decide to make a gumball machine! We will be working on colors and numbers for the next few weeks so I am hoping Maddie can get some good use out or new magnets.


Here is the completed set with a gumball machine and five gumballs for each color. I will bring out a different color every week or so. Then we can have a whole week of counting and doing fun things with that color.


Maddie had lots of fun helping me get all the pieces made so I hope this help reinforce our colors and numbers, and even if it doesn't it still looks cute!
