Counting is a Piece of Cake!
Along with learning letters, you can jump start your preschooler learning her numbers simply by making it fun. The secret is to give her an activity that is enjoyable and combines learning with counting.
The Stack and Count Layer Cake by Learning Resources is a different way to learn numbers and counting. Each cake is painted either "chocolate" or "vanilla" and has a number on the side. The individual cake pieces are in a graduated size with number 10 being the largest and number 1 being the smallest.
Along with numbers, this fun toy also teaches spacial reasoning; that is, learning what goes on what. Can she balance all the larger pieces on the tiny number 1 piece? Experimentation will show her the results.
Pretend play is a wonderful way to learn. Let your child pretend she is a baker or a caterer to an important event and she needs to prepare cakes. This is also a great toy for group play as each child can participate in the building of cakes along with counting them too.
If you have a preschooler that is yearning to learn her numbers, give her a little boost and make learning to count as easy as, well baking a cake!
