1-10 Are Like ...

Learning 1-10 has never been easier by associating the numbers with things around us. This is how I teach my children numbers:

One is like a person who lies down straight.


Two is like a swan.


Three is like Mickey Mouse’s ears when he tilts his head.


Four is like a person’s legs crossed as shown in the picture.


Five is like a pregnant mummy with a big stomach stretching her arms.


Six is like the shell of a snail.


Seven is like a person’s arm when he folds it (see picture).


Eight is like two donuts put together.


Nine is like one side of an eyeglass.


Ten is like a lollipop with its stick detached and put by its side.


My children love this. How do you teach your children numbers?

Huisia,

When I can't get through to the kids, I would start thinking.

Trin,

I drew those pictures. Forgive my drawings and yes, I do have to think. Some came easily and some were a little tough.
