What you need

A full sheet of paper and a large child-appropriate crayon.

Age: 3–5 years; choose for the individual child.

Let's make it happen

  1. Draw a snowperson with a large round body and a smaller head.
  2. Choose a number together and draw that many button marks down the body.
  3. Point to each mark while counting. Add a scarf or another snowperson and compare their buttons.

Adult stays beside the child; all buttons are drawn marks rather than loose pieces.
