Q loves playing with stickers and I hate them. They usually mean stickers stuck to my arm, my bootie, my feet, the baby's feet, the dog's feet....Argh. Yesterday I was trying to get a quick task done on the computer and dodge stickers being applied all over me. I quickly whipped up a little book. I wrote the title and the text on each page--1 through 7 bugs. Then I instructed Quinn to look at each number and stick that amount of bugs on the page. She surprised me by doing it all on her own in about 5 minutes!
This is a great activity to encourage number/quantity awareness (and to give stickers a home that doesn't involve someone's bootie.)

For younger kids you can put dots on the page and they can match each sticker to a dot. For older kids, try having them put the stickers in pairs (to introduce odd/even) or even fives or tens. Use bigger numbers! Stamps would also work.....
