What is Counting?
Counting is saying numbers in order while pointing to objects one by one.
When we count, we match each number word (like "one", "two") to one object. This helps us know how many things there are!
How to Count Objects
1️⃣ Point to the first object and say "one"
2️⃣ Move to the next object and say "two"
3️⃣ Keep going until all objects are counted!

Parent Tips 🌟
- Make it a game: Count everyday objects like toys, fruits, or steps as you go about your day.
- Use fingers: Encourage your child to use their fingers to count along - this helps with number sense.
- Sing counting songs: Songs like "Five Little Ducks" or "Ten in the Bed" make counting fun and memorable.
