Happy Hamsters (ages 3+)

A repeating cycle of 5 early number games

Choose whether you want to work with 1 to 5 or 1 to 9.
There are 5 activities which keep playing without end.

1. Count the hamsters, (1:1 correspondence and cardinal aspect)
2. Follow the hamster, (digit formation)
3. Seed trays, (no time for counting, estimate more/less/fewer)
4. Order the logs, (ordinal numbers)
5. Loo roll, find the numbers

Have fun!

More detail about the Seed Tray game:
As you play you progress through different ratios on the trays. It begins with 1/4, then 1/3, then 1/2, 2/5, 3/5, 2/3 and finally 3/4.
