MELISSA AND DOUG - COUNTING CATERPILLAR
AGE 2+
Wooden stacking toy with 10 colourful segments
Discover Countless Ways To Play
Boost beginning number skills by asking the child to count the segments with you. Repeat the activity until the child is familiar with the numbers one through ten.
Help the child identify the numerals and place the segments in order.
Ask the child to name all the colors of the segments.
Once the child is more familiar with numbers, present a simple math problem, like 1+2=3, counting out the dots on top of the segments together.
Lay the segments flat and encourage the child to stack them as high as he or she can.
Place the caterpillar on its side and try to make segments "walk" across it like a balance beam.
