123 Count with Me is a companion book to the alphabet book I shared with the last week. It has the same wonderful channels for tracing the featured number and the fun flaps. In this book the flaps reveal the object need to complete each page’s number set.
I like that you can work on adding one with this book. JDaniel loves the channels and the flaps.
What did we do?
Counting
We did three games with leaves.
The first game is one JDaniel came up with himself while my husband and I were trimming bushes on Saturday. He lined up “big” leaves and counted them.
The second game required a number line of chalk numbers in the driveway and some of JDaniel’s “big” leaves. I would call out a number and he would put a leaf on it.
The third game used the number line and “big” leaves. JDaniel arranged the correct number of leaves on each number. It was a little windy on Saturday and the leaves kept blowing away. Sometimes counting is hard work.
What a great idea! We live in a city apartment so we’ve done what you do with chalk with magnets. My son loves it!
Thanks for hosting =) Always great ideas..I took the kids to the Library for the 1st time the other day and I was so overwhelmed with all the choices..lol
I’m really liking JDaniel’s red rain boots. I was packing up books last night for a little trip we’re doing this weekend (the books I picked related to the fun we’ll be having) and thinking it might make for a good post to link with Read Explore Learn. 🙂
Such great learning ideas, as always. Also a great way to get outside for part of your learning time.
I love your link ups – they are so helpful and inspiring. Totally going to get on the ball with them!
I love how you made a game out of leaves, even if they kept blowing away. 🙂 And those rain boot are so cute!

You are just the best mom I know. Super supportive but really innovative with your educational methods as well.
This book was so much to get. It’s going to our friends who have a 2 year old soon. Great ideas on counting.
What a fun and simple activity. I like it! Let you know what my boy thinks of it.
What a fun activity! You are a terrific mom. I’ve tried to follow you before and it keeps booting me off. Guess I’ll try again…
