Send your child on a number hunt

To help your young child recognize numbers and some of the ways people use them, have a number hunt. Choose a number, such as 12. Write it on a piece of paper. Now challenge your elementary schooler to find that number somewhere in your home. Your child might find it on the clock or on a can in your cupboard. Talk about what it represents in that context. Then it's your child's turn to write down a number and send you on a number hunt.
