Kavi Counts the Stars ✨
It's a starry night 🌙 and Kavi the owl wants to count the stars ⭐ — but Kavi keeps losing count! "Did I count that one twice? Did I skip one?" Then Kavi has an idea: touch each star once and say one number for each. The last number you say tells how many!

What your child will learn
1One counter, one numberTap Add 1 and say a number for each counter: 1… 2… 3… Touch each one once — no skipping, and no counting one twice!
2Hop one at a timeA number line puts the numbers in order. Each hop is +1 — one more. Say one number for each hop: 1, 2, 3 … 10. The number you land on tells how many hops so far.
3Read and write the numbersEvery number has its own shape. Read them in order: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10. Then write each one — trace it in the air with your finger first!
