Comparing Jellybeans With A Venn Diagram
If you’re looking for another jellybean activity, try this quick and easy candy Venn diagram.
I got the paper plate Venn diagram idea from Deanna Johnston at her cute “Primary Punch” blog and liked it so much I pinned it months ago.

I thought I’d try it out for a jellybean and conversational heart comparison - contrast, as I use candy a lot in the classroom, for all sorts of activities and math centers.
Candy is pretty unforgettable for children, so you’ll have no problem having them remember your past activities.
After I got it done, I was so pleased with the results, that I whipped a Venn diagram off for comparing the other candy, that I doled out during the other holidays: candy corn from October and peppermint candy canes in December.
This turned into a 15-page packet entitled Venn Candy! You can either use paper plates and have students cut and glue the clipart and headers, or use the normal Venn diagram templates.
I’ve made some for comparing each type of candy with each other as well as provided a blankVenn diagram template for you to dream up whatever else inspires you!

1-2-3 Come Do Some Sweet Jellybean Things With Me
I LOVE jellybeans. Like Fishy Crackers and Candy Hearts they are a “must have” manipulative in my classroom, as I’m a firm believer that “hands-on” learning is the best way for little ones to learn. If you can involve something edible now and then, you'll certainly grab their attention.
Because of that, I just finished designing some interesting activities that will hopefully help turn the light bulb on for your students and reinforce report card standards in a fun way!
The Jellybean Counting Booklet is an easy reader that reviews number words and counting to 10. Students trace and then write the numbers and number words, circle the number in its sequence and then circle that many jellybeans in the group/set.
I’ve also included a “count to 30” “trace & write” skill sheet and a certificate of praise bookmark.
When everyone is done, read the booklet as a whole group to reinforce concepts of print.

Students trace and then write the color word and then color the jellybean the appropriate color.
This booklet includes 2 graphing extensions and 10 traceable color word flashcards with jellybean cards to color + a cover so students can turn the cards into an Itty Bitty booklet.

The 53-page Jellybean Activities packet includes:
