A Fun Way to Teach Counting
A Fun Way to Teach Counting
What kid doesnt love rocks? My little guy sure does, so I thought some painted rocks would be the perfect way to help him learn his numbers and how to count. On one side I painted numbers 1-10 and added dots and on the reverse side I just painted the number alone. Add a bag and now its easy to take these rocks on the go.

Heres what you need:
- Rocks - I collected mine at the beach, but you can also find them at a craft or dollar store
- Stencils - I used these Martha Stewart adhesive stencils
- Acrylic paint
- Small paint brush
- Fine black pen for outlining each number
- Optional - muslin bag, stamped
We eat out a lot on the weekends and Im always looking for new toddler activities to keep Jake happy. I made a picture matching book for his new painted number rocks for more number learning. I have a feeling this restaurant activity will be a hit!
These painted rocks rocks are a fun way to teach your child how to count. They would also make a great toddler gift. What mom doesnt love a learning gift?
