You need
- socks (5 pairs)
Steps
- 1. Your child covers their eyes. The grown-up hides five rolled-up socks.
- 2. Go! Find the treasure.
- 3. Count them as you line them up: one, two, three…
- 4. Now your child hides them for you.
⚠ Safety · Stay nearby
Hide socks low down. No climbing to reach them.
Stop if:
- A sock is too hard to find — give a clue: “warmer, warmer”
Easier
Hide three socks in plain sight.
Harder
Hide ten. Count back down as you put them away.
Only 5 minutes?
Hide three socks once.
Why it matters: Counting real things, one by one, builds number sense.
Clean-up: All socks back in the drawer.
