LETS DO SOME MORE COUNTING!!
Here are some ways to practice counting at home with your child:
- Count snack foods! Example: If you are having Goldfish crackers for snack put a few in front of your child and count them out. Have your child point to each cracker and count along with you
- Count while folding laundry – How many shirts? How many socks?
- Sing counting songs (5 Little Monkeys Jumping on the Bed, Five Green and Speckled Frogs, etc.)
- Build a block tower and count how many blocks you used
- Count the steps in your house as you practice walking up or down them
- Have your child help you set the table for dinner – How many napkins? How many forks?
- Count toys! – How many… stuffed animals, balls, cars, dolls?
