Great job! You saved the day by counting all the way to nineteen!
Reading is so much fun! You can read anywhere, like in a car or on a train. Ask someone to help you find more books to read. You’ll love it!
Thanks for joining the counting adventure! Keep exploring more stories and have fun learning!
Egg Hunt Adventure: Organize a fun egg hunt in your backyard or classroom. Hide plastic eggs and let the children find them. Once they have collected the eggs, open them to discover pictures of the baby animals mentioned in the story. Ask the children to match the number of eggs they found with the corresponding baby animals. For example, if they find three eggs, they should match them with the caterpillars that turn into butterflies. This activity helps reinforce counting and animal recognition.
Draw and Count: Provide the children with paper and crayons. Ask them to draw their favorite scene from the story, such as the penguin with one egg or the turtles racing to the water. Encourage them to count the number of eggs or animals in their drawing and share it with the class. This activity combines creativity with counting practice.
Counting Walk: Take the children on a short walk around the school or playground. Ask them to count different objects they see, such as trees, flowers, or birds. Encourage them to think about how these objects might relate to the story, like counting birds and imagining them as robin chicks. This activity helps children apply counting skills in real-world settings and enhances their observation skills.

**The Cold Day:**
No one’s counting, we’ve been forgotten, left out in the cold.
No birthdays, no growing, no clocks, unless we warm up, time stops.
Quick, help warm us up! Count every number on this page and see what happens next.
One, two, three… look at that, the ice has melted!
Keep counting… it’s working!
Five, six, seven, eight… amazing!
If you trace us gently and count us aloud, we’ll warm up even more.
You’ve done it! We’re red hot, you saved us all from a very cold day.
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, sixteen, seventeen, eighteen, nineteen.
**Final Thoughts:**
If you don’t have books, what are you waiting for?
Reading is fun! I like to read books about fantasy and love.
I’ll read it on the go, in a car, on a plane, even on a train.
Ask your grandma to download books now; you’ll be glad you did.
