Number 6 activities for toddlers: video, snack, play, book and free printable

Six is the first number that needs two hands: all five fingers on one hand, plus one more. At ages 2 to 4 the goal is counting real things, one at a time, and knowing that the last number you say tells you how many.

Here's everything we use for Number 6, all in one place. Pick one or two, or spread them across a week.

Watch
