What you need

A full sheet of paper and large child-appropriate crayons.

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

Let's make it happen

  1. Draw two large watermelon slices. Add a few seed marks to each, using a different number on each slice.
  2. Touch each mark once as you count the seeds in the first slice, then count the second slice.
  3. Adult writes the matching number beside each slice. Add one seed mark to a slice and count again.

Adult stays beside the child; draw seed marks rather than using loose seeds.
