Below find some useful ideas and videos to support at home.
Maybe you could try these with your child.
- Use household food items such as flour or rice in a small tray or bowl encourage your child to form numbers in the tray you can support by forming numbers to support.
- During a shopping trip ask your child to help you collect items from your list e.g "can you give me 6 carrots and now I need 4 apples, how many do I have altogether?" Encourage your child to touch each object as they count.
