  • Activity 1 / Counting Floors Worksheet

    Do your kids accompany you on shopping trips and while you run errands? Have you ever taken them on a ride in an elevator? How did you explain the way the machine works? In this worksheet, your little ones meet Lily and her mother. Lily and her mother are in an elevator, and they need to go from Floor 1 to Floor 8. Ask your kids to help them check all the floors that the two will pass to get to their destination.

  • Activity 2 / Triceratops Counting to 9 Worksheet

    The friendly dinosaur in this worksheet is here to help your kids learn to count better. Dinosaurs lived long before humans came to this earth. This means that by the time we got here, dinosaurs were already extinct, and no human ever came in contact with a living dinosaur. However, with careful study and research, we have been able to find out a lot about the dinosaurs, including this little triceratops. Help the little dinosaur trace on the line to count from 1 to 9.
