Vito loves counting. He’s been counting since he’s 1.5 years old. He recited and recognized the numbers from 1 to 10 first before the letters. He is unlike Mavi who recognized and recited the alphabet first (1.5 years old) before he became interested with numbers (3 years old).
And because of Vito’s interest, I am always giving him different counting activities to feed this interest. One of his favourite is using our counting cards for one to one correspondence. These were Mavi’s and I barely used them with him.
Mavi can only finish 5 cards when he was Vito’s age. So I prepared the same amount of cards for Vito. We counted together as he placed one gem on the picture. When he was done with the fourth card, he asked for more cards to work on. The cards that we are using are from here, Numbers (Flash Kids Flash Cards). You can also get these gems from Amazon.
So I added the first card, which he finished breezily and still asked for more. I added one card at time after the fifth card, observing up to what number he can count without getting tired.
What the child can learn from one to one correspondence activity:
In the end Vito counted till 11! He was so engrossed!

What the child can learn from one to one correspondence activity:
- Avoiding double counting. That is placing gems on the same picture twice.
- Allows the child to count slowly.
- Associating one gem to one picture

Not only is this so much fun for toddlers, but it is sooooo important for them!
ReplyDeleteSuch a great activity to teach one to one correspondence. I enjoyed the read too. It's so funny how each of our kiddos are so different. Lol.
