1 Heck of a Workout
Why play this way?
This is math you can feel in your muscles! While they roll, count, and move through the game, your little one will practice a big math idea: matching one number to one object. It’s how counting begins to make sense. They will also build coordination, balance, and focus as they play. It's a joyful mix of movement and learning, with just the right amount of silly built in.
Caregiver Tip: Encourage your little one to touch each dot as they count! This helps them build 1:1 correspondence, an important early math skill.
