I am so glad I packed the Hape wooden numbers for our holiday. I just knew that A’s interest in numbers would keep growing. I was at a discount store and spotting packets of cats. They came in a pack of 6 so I grabbed three knowing I would have enough for A to use them as counters up to 5. I introduced the toy cats to A just after we were playing with our real cats. ‘I love these! These are my favourite animals!’ I started with the number 1 and then we worked out way down the mat; going back to check if A had enough cats for each number. After this I also added the zero and showed him how there were no cats beside zero because it means ‘none’ or ‘nothing’. Such a hard concept to understand!
I think I’ll go back and get some more packets of cats so he can keep counting up to 10.
