Fun Activity Idea!

Looking for a fun activity to do with your child this weekend? Practice counting to 10 with one-to-one correspondence! There are multiple ways your child can practice counting that is both fun and easy. Here are some ideas:

Go for a walk and count how many trees you see.
When your child is cleaning up their toys, count how many toys they have.
Build a tower and count how many blocks they stacked.
When putting away laundry, count how many pieces of clothing they have.
When eating a snack, count how many pieces of snack they will eat.

Here is a fun counting video we have been singing this week:
