I found some wonderful number cards on One Little Two, Two Little with Curious George on them. They are part of a totbook activity she developed. I brainstormed and came up with several ways to use them to introduce JDaniel to numbers and counting.
- Use chopsticks and noodles to count. JDaniel placed a noodle on each piece of fruit to work on one to one correspondence.
2. Put the number cards in a plastic sleeve and cross them out while you count.
3. Place them on the floor and practice jumping or hopping the number times shown on the card.
4. Lay out the cards and match the right number to its picture representation.
5. Select a number and search the house to find objects that are that number.
6. Create a concentration game with the cards.
What else could I do with these number cards?

Great ideas!
You could put them in order from least to greatest or greatest to least.
You could put to side by side and figure out which is more or less.
Love the ideas. Wish I’ve met you when my boys were little!!
Happy Wednesday!!
I don’t know – these are all fantastic ideas – I am going to try that first one with Miss Maddy!!
Those are all great ideas. I am really bad at coming up with creative ideas like that.
Those are so great ideas! I am going to try them with Elijah! Happy Wednesday! Thanks for stopping by my site too!
Cute! Believe it or not, Hans Rey (Reyersbach), who created Curious George, is my husband’s great uncle 🙂

Those are some great ideas! Thanks for sharing.
Love these! Thanks for the ideas. 🙂
Great ideas! I LOVE the chopsticks – great for eye-hand coordination as well as understanding quantity and numeral. I was thinking the Curious George numeral cards would also work well for a variation of the Montessori cards and counters. You’d just need enough counters (such as game counters, buttons, or rocks) for all the numeral cards. Then you could line up the numeral cards and count out the appropriate number of counters in rows of two (with the extra counter centered below whenever there’s an odd number) below each card.
