Foundations and learning approach
Connect one count with one object
Lay out 5 toys and invite your child to touch or move each one while counting. Space them so the objects are easy to track.
Rearrange and compare
Move the same toys from a row into a circle. Ask whether the number is unchanged and invite an independent check.
Point to each object once without skipping or double counting. The final count gives a total of 5 objects.

Set one spoon for each person at the table. Ask how many need adding or removing when the number of people changes.
