I've been trying to incorporate Cuisenaire Rods more lately. Since we're still in the exploration/familiarization stage with the rods (and probably will be for months, since he's so young), template matching activities seem to work well for us. He enjoys them and they let us have conversations about the rods and how they compare to one another. He also enjoyed the element of counting up each color of rod at the end.
