How it works

  1. 1

    Let's start by gathering some spoons and forks. Place 5 spoons in a row on the table. Ask your child to count them out loud with you. Let's do it together: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5!

  2. 2

    Now let's add 3 forks to the table. Ask your child to count just the forks. Then ask: 'How many forks do we have altogether?'

  3. 3

    Now let's mix it up! Place 2 cups and 4 bowls on the table. Ask your child to count all the items together. Then ask: 'Do we have more cups or more bowls?'

  4. 4

    Let's play a game! Ask your child to close they eyes. Remove 1 spoon and 1 bowl. Ask your child to open eyes and figure out what's missing by counting.
