A little Early Years Edit inspiration...
Try placing your robins in a tray alongside wooden numbers, pine cones, red pom-poms or pretend berries. Invite children to feed each robin the correct number of treats, or hide the robins around your provision for a winter number hunt!
For younger children, begin with numbers 1–3 and gradually introduce more as their confidence grows.
Because maths doesn't need worksheets, it needs opportunities to explore, discover and play.
