Every child loves the 5 little monkeys.  It doesn't matter if they are jumping on the bed or sitting in a tree.  You could make 5 monkeys by choosing crackers that are smaller.  I just chose to make one big monkey.  These monkey stories are great for learning to count and subtract.  The repetition is great and children quickly pick up on it.
