Hello, just that really! My 4 year old all of a sudden has taken an interest in numbers. She is getting her 6 and 9 mixed up when reading them. I was just wondering if there were any tricks or rhymes or something to help her? Thanks so much! Grin

The 6 looks like a seed with a sprout emerging. The 9 looks like a tall sunflower. 6s come first and the 'lump' grows up until it's a 9.

That might help get the order right.

And the 6 starts with an 's' the same as 'seed'.

Better ideas needed!

6 sits on its bum 9 stands on its feet?
