- If you have more than one child have them guess who will have more (i.e. did they grasp that older children have bigger hands therefore will fit more candy?)
- Count the candy (I had my Kindergartner put them in piles of 10 (you can count by 1s, 2s, 5s, or 10s depending on what skill you are practicing)

I want to do this with a group of preschoolers, there will be 12. I was wondering how many hearts would you give each kid?
I would have them grab a small handful and that should be just about right =)
