This Halloween, encourage your child to create a super sweet mosaic. They'll make a candy corn pumpkin and then decide if they want to eat it, or keep it!

Your child can count out six pumpkins or six crayons, but what is a six all by itself? ThatÃs a much harder concept to grasp.

Here's a Halloween, math activity: have your preschooler or pre-kindergartener carve shapes into a Jack-O-Lantern face and boost her shape recognition skills.
