Set up
Put 3–4 empty bowls or muffin-tin wells on a tray. Put a bowl of Cheerios (or raisins, crackers) at one end of the table.
Show your kid (30 sec)
Pick up the bowl of Cheerios. Walk it to the tray. Pour a few into each small bowl. Done.
What you'll see
Careful pouring. Counting (in 3+ kids). "Delivering" the snacks to stuffed animals. Sometimes the snacks get eaten, sometimes they make many round trips first.
When they want to go again
Use tongs to transfer instead of pouring. Make a "delivery list" — three for bear, two for dog. Use a real toy truck if you have one.
