He loves counting and   I thought of sharing this printable number  chart  which i put together.   The chart is free and printable in pdf format: download the 1 2 3 4 5 chart here.  Now you can use this colourful chart to count up to 10. You can print this chart and have it stuck on the wall ,fridge or desk.   Have fun counting numbers with you child; ask what comes next and what comes before. Count down from ten with your child. Make it fun    Use  a torch and flash onto the number and get your child shout out the number. Laminate  the printed number chart and use it as a place mat, or  use a dry erase marker to trace the numbers( when your child is ready to write). Thanks for stopping by.
