Counting Crocodiles

I've set myself a challenge to make a counting activity for every day of the week after realising that Wugs doesn't (I think) appreciate that numbers can refer to quantities.  I got the brilliant idea to turn pegs into crocodiles from this site.  I drew the crocodiles' features onto the wooden pegs using a black pen and then coloured them using green marker pens.  I added the pink dots and sealed them with Mod Podge.  (I was concerned that Wugs would try to pull off the dots if he realised they were stickers).   Then I cut out fish shapes from blue card and numbered them.

The first time I introduced this to Wugs he matched all the crocodiles to the correct fish so I breathed a sigh of relief.  Since then, however, he has mismatched them so I think we will still get some more use out of our crocodiles yet.

What we used:
Wooden pegs
Black pen
Green markers
Pink circular stickers
Mod Podge
Blue card
Blue marker pen
