Add one Oviraptor (egg-stealing) dinosaur
Add one nest of T-rex dinosaur eggs (technically, T-Rex didn't lay eggs in a nest, but it's okay)
Finally, add one pair of dice
Roll the dice and have 5-year old count the number it landed on. Add that number of eggs to T-Rex's nest.
Have 5 year old roll the dice and subtract said number from T-Rex's nest. (Oviraptor steals them)
T-Rex realizes that some of her eggs are missing
T-Rex - being the fiercest dinosaur in the whole word - attacks and kills oviraptor and reclaims her stolen eggs.
Count how many eggs are now in T-Rex's nest. It should be the original number she started with. Roll dice, rinse, and repeat.
We also have similar games for a 4 year old- dog lover who is learning to count.
And a 7 year old who likes to steal pillows from everyone's room.
