It’s never too early to start introducing numbers

It will be a while before your little one can recite their 1-2-3’s but that doesn’t mean it’s too early to introduce numbers. Start counting things out aloud whenever you can. This could be anything – peas, cars, balls, apples or steps in changing a nappy. What you count isn’t important, rather that you are building familiarity with numbers.
