All Number Lacing Cards 0 to 9
Print this set of lovely, bright, appealing lacing cards - designed to help the kids learn their numbers!
Number Symbols
What does a number look like? If you start to look out for them, numbers are everywhere and we don't think twice about them. When you start to introduce number symbols to the children, you are looking to introduce the digits 0 to 9 with the aim that children begin to recognise them and understand that they represent a count or measurement.
Number Symbols Day to Day
- Hunt for numbers with your toddler - on buses and taxis and cars, on doors and gates and shop fronts, in shops and at home.
- Point out numbers in conversation. Ask your child to help you "look for the number 6 bus" or "put 2 plates on the table".
- Play games that encourage children to recognise numbers. Simple dice games are ideal, especially if you find a dice with numbers rather than dots on it. You will find some dice games in the resources section below.
- Handle numbers. There are many ways you can do this.
- Use our Number Lacing Cards (below) both as lacing cards or as fun large laminated numbers to handle and play with. We've got plenty more options below to choose from.
- Some children find using playdough to form the number shapes helpful for remembering them. If yours might, try printing out our simple Number Playdough Mats below.
- Buy a set of magnetic numbers and display them on the fridge.
- Use numbers at bath time! Cut numbers out of craft foam using our Number Templates and play with them in the bath.
- Or use our number templates to cut numbers out of felt, colourful card, wrapping paper or scrapbook paper and decorate your walls, your fridge, the bedroom...
- Display numbers. We have many simple number posters, number cards and number lines that you can put up on display. You will find the most appropriate for this stage below.
Here's a fun way to practice number recognition - and kids have been enjoying it for years!
