Teaching Fractions the Fun Way: When I teach fractions to young children for the first time we make really cute pizza. You need two of the white inexpensive paper plates per child. I then print out a crust and circle. I let each child decorate their pizza. Some like pepperoni some just like cheese (I like peppers). Next the kids cut out their pizza and glue it down on one of their plates. Place a plate under the plate with the pizza and cut a line through both  plates to the center. The plates rotate and you can ask for different sizes, “show me a quarter of a pie”. Try it. :-)
