Counting and Ordering.

Have another look at the video of the story.

Can you count how many creatures there are on each page?

(You may want to ask your grown-up to pause the video so you can count carefully!)

Remember to touch or point to each animal as you count, and use a different number name for each one you see.

Can you count how many creatures there are altogether in the story? 

Now have a think about the order in which the little boy sees the creatures.

Which creature did he see first?

Which creature did he see last?

Which was the third/fifth/ seventh animal he saw?

Collect together as many toy animals as you can find from around your house.

Can you place them in a line?

Now can you tell your grown-ups,

Which is the first toy in the line?

Which is the last toy in the line?

Which is the third toy?

Which is the sixth toy?
