Space Counting Cards This product contains cards with numbers 1-5 and small manipulatives/counters for counting. I have used this with my 2-5 year-olds: I hid the counters in kinetic sand (but something else can be used), and let them find them and place them on the cards.

Teaching style
I prefer the child-centered approach to teaching: children learn better if they actively participate in the learning process, not just by observing what the teacher is doing.
