Here is a great idea from intellokids of what to do with that popping wrap left over from Christmas presents!! Cut it into squares and have kids jump on them by number. You can also give them as many toys as the number they have to jump on, to make it more fun. Jump away!!

What a great way for kids to practice counting while having fun. You can change the game for girls and have them count flowers, barbies or marbles. The dice can easily be made with a small box or felt toy. 

Here is an easy and inexpensive way to make a game at home. Just a few paper plates (which your kids can color) along with a paper-towel roll. Have the kids play in a long hallway or in their rooms.
