Words, numbers and early learning
Stories for early learning: first words, counting and early maths, colours, shapes and other early concepts for toddlers and young children.
5 stories
The early years are full of firsts. A baby's babble turns into a first word, a toddler starts naming everything in sight, and before long a child is counting the stairs, spotting circles and squares, comparing who has more, and asking what day comes after tomorrow.
A little later come sums, bigger numbers and the satisfying moment when ten ones become a ten.
Stories are one of the most natural ways into all of this. Repetition, rhythm and playful sounds invite a child to join in, and when numbers, colours and shapes are woven into an adventure, your child can count along, name what they hear and picture adding one more or taking one away, at their own pace and without any pressure.
On this shelf you will find stories for first words and early language, counting and early maths, colours, shapes, sizes and opposites, and other early concepts, from a toddler's very first words to simple mental maths.
