Walk around your house looking at colors, shapes, and numbers.  Count the windows, the steps on the stairs, the number of rooms, chairs, etc.  Look for shapes and colors in your home.  Say "Lets find a square" or "Let's find things that are red."  If colors and shapes are new to your child, place something red in her hand and say "That's red. Let's find other red things."  Or "This is a square.  Let's find other things in the house that are square."

Other Ideas:

• Write large numbers from one to five on a piece of paper.  Next to the number one, put one little ball of clay or play dough, next to the number two, put two little balls of clay and so on.  Have your child count the balls and use a finger to trace the number.
