I love this activity because each numbered dog has a definite stopping point. Unlike counting everything in sight or even counting the number of things on a page, the child can easily see that there is no more room for extra bones. (When counting in a random group of objects, children often count the same objects more than once.)

Plus, this activity is great for building hand strength by pulling on the velcro which is great for fine-motor skills and hand-eye coordination as they work to get the bones into the squares.
