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 large web on the sheet and choose a small number together.
  2. Draw that many spider shapes on the web, counting each one as it arrives.
  3. Point to each spider and count again. Add one more and see how the total changes.

Adult stays beside the child and puts supplies away afterward.
