Okay, I admit, I like popsicle sticks, perhaps even a little too much. And my kids seem to think they are magical as well. So you can’t blame a SLP for finding every way possible to use these beauties… and here’s another:
To DIY you’ll need about 60 sticks, a sharpie (fine point works best) and paint or paint dots.
As you can see, I simply painted each set of 10 sticks a different color (paint dots were used) and numbered. So, I had ten pink 1’s, ten blue 2’s, and so on. Then I placed them in my little $0.50 bag from Michaels and off we go. Here are the games I like to play with it. They love trying to beat me or their other group members! Enjoy!

This is adorable! When I clicked on the “here” are the games link, it took me to an error page. Would you be able to re-post the link? Thanks so much! Love this idea!

I’m not sure why you can’t access the document, the link is working (just tried when I wasn’t logged in as well). The link is https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B5va1JDSKGNfNmhhWUJsTDJUYkszc2lUSlhCNWdrQQ so perhaps you will need to copy the link and paste it into your browser. It is a PDF file on google docs. If you still can’t get it to work, I can e-mail it to you! Thanks!
