Story Mix for Three to Six: Clothing and Counting Books

We read several books this week at Story Mix all around the theme of clothing and counting. One of the first learning concepts children are exposed to are numbers and counting.  Counting aloud not only introduces new sounds and words, but also creates a stimulating learning environment.  Learning about clothing items also prepares children to dress themselves as they go to school, in addition to hearing new sounds and words, which increases vocabulary.

Send us your suggestions for clothing and counting books and we might include it in a future posting!
