Some tips for helping a preschooler develop math skills is to start with basic counting activities, such as counting to 10 with objects or playing number recognition games. Make counting hands-on by having your preschooler count individual items, like Froot Loops or buttons. You can also incorporate everyday objects and activities into math games like having her sort her socks by color or asking her to count how many steps it takes to get to the kitchen. Using household items like paper plates can also be used for creating simple puzzles that involve shape recognition and patterning. Finally, get creative with your math time and make it fun by adding music, puzzles, flash cards, creative drawing, and worksheets.
