First we went on a walk to collect sticks!

When Kysen first started trying to put the sticks in the toilet paper rolls they kept falling over. We grabbed some rocks to put in the toilet paper rolls to help them stand up.

Then he was ready to count some sticks! He had to put the same number of sticks as the number on the toilet paper roll.

He thought it was so funny that the sticks could stand up!
