Ideas
•
Use toys or other small things to make different numbers. Ask your child to make numbers. Make a number for
your child and ask them how many it is.
•
Sort toys by size, maybe starting with the shortest and ordering by height or maybe starting with the fattest and
ordering by thinness.
•
Put things in the ‘wrong’ room in the home – a saucepan in the bathroom, a bar of soap in the dining room. Get
your child to hunt for the ‘wrong place’ thing and restore it to its right place.
•
Let your child set up ‘wrong’ things for you.
•
Find things round the house that are the same size. Find things that are the same size vertically, or horizontally,
or both.
