Kavi's Shoe Shop 👟
Kavi opens a shoe shop! Shoes always come in pairs — 2 shoes in every pair 👟👟. A customer asks, "How many shoes in 5 pairs?" Kavi doesn't count 1, 2, 3, 4 … Kavi counts 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 — in twos!

What your child will learn
1Shoes come in pairsA pair is 2. Every pair of shoes is 2 shoes, so we can count the shoes in twos. Tap each pair and count with Kavi!
2Hop in twosStart at 0 and hop +2 again and again — every hop covers one pair. Watch Kavi land on 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 and keep going all the way to 20!
3Just the numbersNo pictures now. The lit-up numbers are the ones we say when we count in 2s: 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20.
