Playful activity ideas
Build a number story
Use blocks or drawings to act out a small story: ‘Three birds were here and one more arrived.’ Invite your child to show what happens.
Plan and build
Choose a simple building challenge, such as a bridge for a toy. Talk through a plan, test it, and make one change together.
