About the Sesame Street Cookie Monster's Counting Jar
The Counting Jar format is effective for early numeracy because it makes the abstract concept of counting concrete and tactile: picking up pretend cookies, placing them in the jar, and counting as you go. Cookie Monster is a natural fit - his intense relationship with cookies makes the counting context inherently funny and motivating for young children.
