Toddlers need to learn the meaning of counting by using counting skills in a variety of meaningful situations. Start with counting small numbers, up to five objects. Once children can count reliably their knowledge of the number sequence can be extended to count both forwards and backwards, from any given number.

The Apple and Pear flashcards include cards from 1-10, they will help your child recognise numbers, number words and their shapes. These cards are designed to help your child develop their counting skills by counting the animals and tracing the numbers in the space provided. Not only will children count each animal, but they will have a visual example of quantity for each number.
