Counting Toys for 2 Year Olds

Title Counting Toys for 2 Year Olds As a parent
or educator, it is so satisfying to watch a
toddler learn new things. Toddlers show such
enthusiasm when they successfully place all the
shapes in the sorting box or make a block tower
without it toppling. This is the stage when kids
are learning to count and are acquiring basic
math skills, such as knowing that the number
one, means one item. These are simple ideas to an
adult but are the foundation for future
understanding of more complex ideas. We can
take advantage of the childs passion for
learning by providing educational counting toys
for 2 year olds and counting games for toddlers.
Counting toys for 2 year olds do not need to be
complicated. Plastic colorful counting bears
with sorting cups are a super example of a simple
toy that offers so many opportunities for
learning. With adult guidance the toddler can
count the bears while dropping them into cups,
learning numbers by rote. They can sort the
bears by color and can match the bears to the
same colored cup sorting and matching are
necessary early math skills. It is easy to use
this toy for counting games for toddlers. Using
a washable marker, draw one big dot on a cup, two
dots on another and so on. Have the toddler
match the right number of bears to the dots and
drop them into the cup. Next write the proper
numeral next to the dots. The little one will
become aware that one bear equals one dot and is
represented by the number one. For more

brilliant for creativity and imagination but they
are equally great as counting toys for 2 year

block onto another he is practicing one to one
correspondence. Piling blocks in a tower he may
be counting one, two, three. Take one block away
and he has two. The toddler is learning adding
and subtraction. As she is planning her creation
she will be counting out the pieces and then
placing interconnecting pieces in sequence. The
