Sillybandz have become the new craze in Elementary schools. I'm not sure how, but Kate new about Sillybandz and on a trip to pick a friend's birthday present, Kate asked to buy a package. After the toy store, we went out for lunch. The Sillybandz became a great educational tool as we waited for our food. 
First we created a graph of the animals. We discussed "most" and "least" as we counted the animals. Then we sorted them by color and practice using "most" and "least" and color words. There were "big" bunnies and "small" bunnies. We talked about what each animal eats. We talked about how the animals move...rabbits hop, sheep walk, dogs run and walk, etc. Brooke was certain that cows hop - we talked about how cows stand and walk and run - she insisted that cows hop; then I remembered there was one cow that did jump over the moon so I agreed that at least one cow did hop! The SillyBandz were a great conversational tool that provided Brooke with some great vocabulary.
