Keep Counting

By
Here is a list that I compiled of how we could introduce and reinforce numbers to our preschoolers.
  • Count fruits, in the kitchen, look how many apples or oranges in the fruit bowl. Count objects around the house such as toys, cups or spoons.
  • Go on a number hunt: look for numbers on your mailbox, on your door, and count the numbers on the remote control, on your keyboard.
  • Count socks and put them in pairs.
  • Look at the clock and the numbers.
  •  Bake the number-shaped cookies.
  • Cut numbers from newspapers and magazines and have your child glue them. and make a cute book.
  • Make numbers out of play-dough.
  • Draw numbers on the sensory bin which has been filled with grains, flour or foam.
  • Cut out numbers out of sandpaper for sensory play.
  •  Play bottle cap number games
  •  Play fishing for numbers
  • Introduce numbers through nursery rhymes
  •  Stories with math concepts
  • Lego math games: Sort Lego bricks by counting the dots
  • Pasta patterned necklaces: Make pasta necklaces. Have your child string them creating a pattern and count the number of pastas that have been used.
  •  Dice games: play games such as Snakes and Ladders.
Happy counting.
