Another idea: Related to idea of producing 20, 30 or 100 fold, kids could count out 20 , 30, and 100 candy corn-- and put in a bag to take home.

Games/ Hands-on Activities:
Pick up the worms(pipe cleaners) with the bird beaks (clothes pins)  Great fine motor practice!



Cut pipe cleaners into smaller pieces and shape them to make several “worms”. Place the worms on a brown carpet square (this represents the dirt). Children use a clothespin as a bird beak and catch the worms with their beak. As they catch worms, they place them in a basket until all of the worms have been collected


How to make good clean dirt - well almost.  Dirt Dough is a fun dirt alternative.
All you need is baking soda, black food coloring (found in baking aisle), and a bit of water.  It feels almost exactly like real dirt!  Slowly add water until the baking soda is slightly moist   You want it to be damp and moldable but not wet.  If you add to much water it will turn to liquid which is actually a good thing for after the play but not before!  Baking soda dissolves in water making it 100% tub time safe.  It won't clog the drains and will actually clean them!
