Counting Hearts


Yet another activity with the heart stickers! I gave O a bowl of heart stickers along with a stack of numbers. She put the numbers in order (she was confused by the zero...I need to incorporate a zero into our other number activities). She then counted out the correct number of hearts to go under each number. I was surprised by how easy this activity was for her, and I would have had her go up to 10 if I'd had more hearts :)

  1. Melissa,
    I did a "zero" activity with Snow White a while back. It really helped her to grasp the concept. Here is the link to the post

  2. Hiya. Your daughter is so clever. Mine won't co operate with anything educational about number or letters at all so far.
    I am going to try that with the hearts. I keep looking in the pound store for heart things but they don't have any so far lol.
    Please stop by my blog sometime. Your comments/tips would be very welcome x

  3. very cute idea! My son rolls his eyes when I ask him to do anything that has to do with math (I fear he got that from me) I will have to try this and see if it's "fun" enough ;) Thanks for the idea!
