Number 4 activities for toddlers: snack, play, book and free printable

Four is easy to spot once you start looking: four legs on a dog, four wheels on a car, four sides on a square. At ages 2 to 4 the goal isn't writing the number. It's counting one, two, three, four and knowing that four is one more than three.

Here's everything we use for the number 4, all in one place. Pick one or two, or spread them across a week.

Watch

Number 4 with Sprocket & Sprout. The number segment from Episode 4.

Talk about it
