Count-count-count! Count everything you and your child encounter as you go. Count the bananas at the grocery store, or the apples, the tomatoes you put in a bag, or the number of cans of soda that go into the cart. Count his/her fingers and toes as you him/ her each day. Dr. Seuss has a book, "Ten Apples Up on Top". Count every apple on every page! Your child will be delighted at the repetition and join in to count with you. Count the crayons or markers in the box, get out the poker chips and count the red ones, the more repetition, the better. There are counting songs to learn as well. "One little, two little, three little Indians,--", or "One, two, buckle my shoe, three, four, open the door,--" Your child will love to sing with you!
