Preschool Numbers
Fun Activities For Your Child

Toys From Learning Resources

Before your child learns to count they need to understand that one equals one item, two equals two items and so on.

Use very small numbers to start with and as your child gets their understanding of association number and quantity, start adding another number one at a time.

This is a difficult skill for your preschooler to learn, so have patients. Encouraging your child will go along way.

You can help your child by doing a small daily activity. Laying the table is a good idea, for example, how many folks, knives and plates will we need?

As this is something we do every day, it is good practice for your child.

You could even do this in a play situation, do a teddy bear picnic, and let your child share out the sweets or cakes to each of their teddy bears.

Looking through number books, and counting together is good practise, as well as playing some fun preschool number games.

These were given to my 2 1/2 year old as a gift and I will admit that, at first, I thought it was a rather dull gift. My daughter LOVES it, though. She uses the cookies for counting (and sometimes counts the M&Ms on top). She also has fun playing with them in her kitchen. She cooks the cookies and feeds them to her stuffed animals. She counts how many cookies each doll gets. She spends a lot of time arranging the cookies (and other foods) in the cookie jar. Review: by J Green Texas More By Learning Resources

Hi Ho! Cherry-O is the counting game in which players race to be the first to have 10 cherries in their basket. A spin of the arrow determines your fate. It will instruct you to pick one, two, three, or four cherries from your tree and put 'em in your basket. That is, of course, if you don't land on the bird or the dog, requiring you to take two cherries from your basket and return them to the tree. And try not to land on the spilled bucket to.
