◇ COUNT WITH A GROWN-UP
Your grown-up puts out 1 to 5 spoons.
You count them and say how many.
Then you put out spoons for them!
Take turns five times.
Draw your best group from the hunt.
For a grown-up
This week your child counted to 5.
Ask them to touch each thing once.
Then ask, "How many?" The last number is the answer.
If they recount from 1, that is fine.

Great hunting! Next week we count to 10.
