Learning to Count

Looking for a fun way to help your small child learn to count?  Here's one method that I discovered the other day.  Hide and seek!  I'm guessing everyone knows the rules of playing hide and seek, but basically someone hides while someone else counts to 20, or 30, or 50, or whatever.  My 2 year old does a pretty good job counting to 20, but like her big sister before her, tends to skip 13 and a couple of the other teen numbers.  She goes 10, 11, 12, 14, 15...and so forth.  Playing hide and seek with her and her big sister was a fun way to help correct her and teach her that 13 comes after 12, but before 14.  Any way you can make learning fun is a benefit to your child.
