Can someone please give me an app on iPad or recommend a game to help my 5 year old recognise numbers. Thanks

Up to what numbers are you after? 1-10? 1-20?

Does he like Timmy Time on CBeebies? Timmy's Number Tracing app is good.

Well can recognise any numbers so 1 to 10 would be a good start I think

My ds likes counting 123, but I think it might be too young for a 5 year old as its not number recognition so much as counting things and the number coming up. If that makes sense?

Sillymilly my 2 year old recognises her numbers from 1 to 10 and school have also brought it up. Don't know whether to be concerned or not my 2 year old is a girl though

My ds likes numbers and we watch hours (oh the joy!) of videos on YouTube. I search for counting songs, number songs etc. because its a catchy song with a number flashed up and lots of repetition maybe that could be something to try?

sillymillyb · 13/12/2013 21:46

Just to add, we watch a lot of numtums too.... And number jacks... And team umizoomi.....

I promise we do other stuff than screen time too!

There's a song on YouTube called 'zero, super hero', and the people who make that also sing other counting songs. My dd, 3.5 loves them. Should imagine they'd really appeal to a boy too.
