, fill up a small bowl with 10 plastic spiders to work on numbers 1-10.
** If working with young toddlers, you may adjust to using only 5 spider rings to work on counting 1-5 instead.
Have your child place a plastic spider ring on each finger and count out the numbers 1-10.
Continue counting until each ring is on a finger. And when your child is ready to take them off-- count again! You can even introduce counting backwards from 10!
Add in some other plastic rings and you could work on patterns, addition, and subtraction, too!
Grab the book from your local library and set up this super simple and very hands-on {literally} counting activity for your little one!
