Counting is Fun!
Counting is like climbing up and down a ladder of numbers!
When we count up, we start with a small number and go to bigger numbers (1, 2, 3...).
When we count down, we start with a big number and go to smaller numbers (5, 4, 3...).
Let's practice with some colorful pictures!
How to Count Up and Down
1️⃣ Look at the pictures - count each one carefully
2️⃣ Say the numbers out loud - it helps you remember
3️⃣ Point as you count - this keeps you from skipping numbers

Parent Tips 🌟
- Make it musical: Sing counting songs together like "Five Little Monkeys" to practice counting down.
- Everyday counting: Count stairs as you go up and down, or count toys as you put them away.
- Use snacks: Have your child count out 5 crackers, then eat one and count how many are left.
