It is never too early to teach your baby about math. It?s as easy as singing a simple song!

Description:
Initially, your little one will enjoy just the singing and rhyming, but eventually will begin to recognize the numbers and what they mean, especially if you use your hands and fingers to illustrate how many each word means.

Step by Step:
Sing this little song and illustrate the number count by holding up the correct number of fingers.

One little, two little, three little hippos,
Four little, five little, six little hippos,
Seven little, eight little, nine little hippos,
Ten little hippo babies!

Turn this little song into a clapping game, like "Patty-cake, patty-cake."

One potato, two potatoes, three potatoes, four.
Five potatoes, six potatoes, seven potatoes, more!
