- Little flocked animals, various colors and types (or any type of small toys)

- Have the first child lay the animals out on a box lid.
- Let the second child study the animals on the lid.
- Have the first child cover the animals with the small cloth.
- Have the first child reach under the cloth and remove a few of the animals. Hide these either in his lap or behind his back.
- Have the first child remove the cloth.
- Have the second child guess which animals (and colors) were removed.
- When the guessing is done, have the first child show the second child whether he was correct.
- Now let the second child repeat what the first child did and let the first child do the guessing.
- Have fun!
