Say each number first if necessary. * If your child is nonverbal, have them point to a shape and/or color that you name and do steps 1-3. Extend: * Have your child use a tool to write the number of children on each set. * After uncovering all the friends doing something fun, have your child tell about the activity they would most like to do and who they'd like to do it with. * When they're all done, have them color the shapes back in.
