Some preschoolers count to 20 and beyond (though they might skip a few). Counting to 20 means a child is beginning to understand the patterns that repeat after 10.
Infants understand sequence in terms of time. By 18 months, some toddlers can recite number names in order, and some develop the ability to count things by applying number names to items in order.
While children typically recognize uppercase letters first. lowercase letters are essential for learning to read because they make up 95% of text.
While many children can sing the alphabet song, the ability to sequence letters in order signals the understanding of letters as individual units of language.
Toddlers and preschoolers can often name the days of the week. They also begin to understand that Mondays are different from Saturdays. In grade school they learn to name days of the week in order.
Encouraging children to create music deepens their understanding of music as a form of self-expression. Experimenting with basic musical elements such as rhythm, tempo and mood helps lay a foundation for parallel concepts such as those found in poetry.
Turn up the learning with a brilliant show of lights and music that encourages children to explore numbers, letters and counting. As the numbers and letters light up, the upbeat music inspires physical movement, too!
Designed for little hands, the dial turns to 13 songs and three learning stations. Animated lights illuminate the content in the songs, which introduce numbers 1–20, upper and lowercase letters, days of the week and more. Learn on the refrigerator or take Fridge DJ with you for on-the-go learning.
