🎄 Teaching Tip from a Montessori Guide
Counter cards build foundational math understanding through concrete experience. When toddlers physically place one counter on each image, they're learning that "five" isn't just a word or symbol but an actual quantity of objects. The tactile experience of touching and moving counters creates neural pathways that abstract number worksheets cannot. Use Christmas-themed counters (mini ornament erasers, red and green pom poms, jingle bells) to make the seasonal connection stronger and keep young children motivated through repetitive counting practice.
