Parent Tips 🌟
- Use everyday objects like buttons or cereal pieces to physically combine groups and count to 5 together.
- Make it a game - ask "If I have 2 cookies, how many more do I need to have 5?" and reward correct answers with high fives!
- Sing number songs that incorporate addition, like "Five Little Monkeys" to reinforce the concept through music.
