BabyEbi is very much into this game at the moment. He sets up a shop using his counting objects (which all happen to be fruits and vegetables) on the shelves in his bedroom, He sorts all of them into separate baskets. Then he gets his shopping basket out and asks me what I want, i use the number cards, ask him what the number is - he only knows about half of them, so I will say something like "I want 6 carrots please". So, off he goes with his basket, he counts the carrots into the basket, brings them back then counts them out of the basket and onto the table. We continue until he has used up all the number cards. Then he usually puts all the shopping away and asks to play again, we had to play four times the other day!

Counted out onto the table
