When Do We Teach Kids to Write Numbers?

Teaching kids how to write numbers can be a blast for everyone involved – parents, teachers, and kiddos alike. So, when’s the right time to start? Honestly, there’s no such thing as too early.

As soon as kids show interest in numbers, you can dive into the world of number writing.

Do We Teach Writing Numbers Along with Counting?

Totally! Combining counting with number writing is a great move. When kids can write down the numbers they’re counting, it makes the whole number thing more real for them.

Teaching number sense to kids should be fun!

When my niece started counting everything under the sun, we decided to add number writing into the mix. It made learning more fun and turned counting into a hands-on adventure.

What Are Some Easy Ways to Get Kids Writing Numbers?

1. Make it Fun: Connect each number to something your child knows. Like, number 1 can be a giraffe’s neck, and number 2 can be a swan. Making these connections adds a playful twist to writing numbers.

2. Get Sensory: Bring in the senses by using playdough or sand. Let kids feel the shape of the numbers as they trace them.

3. Move Around: Draw big numbers on a vertical surface like a chalkboard. It helps with muscle memory and gets them moving.

A friend found out her son loved drawing in the air with his finger. So, she turned it into a game, making number writing a fun experience.
