Counting games for toddlers

Counting is one of the first math skills children learn. Between the ages of 2 and 5, most children go from reciting numbers to understanding that each number stands for an amount.

In our counting games, children count friendly critters and tap the matching number. They can tap each critter to mark it as counted, which teaches them to count every object exactly once.
