Whimsy Numbers

Numbers 1 through 10 are our counting numbers. The truth is, children will recite numbers before they actually understand the concept behind them. Though every child is different, most toddlers will be able to count to 10 by the time they are two-years-old. At this point in time they are probably repeating them mostly by memory and have yet to understand what they actually mean. This concept is known as “rote” counting. Rote counting is when a child can say numbers in order, and is mostly learned through hearing the numbers repeatedly said out loud by others. That's why there are so many number songs and rhymes. This delightful needlepoint counts one through ten with twins for two, The Three Little Pigs, five stars, seven colors of the rainbow, eight octopus legs, six sides of a dice, ten toes, and more. The colors coordinate with our Whimsical ABC, so save on threads when purchasing together.
