Of The Best: Counting Rhymes for Toddlers
 Between
18-24 mths old toddlers are beginning to understand the concept of numbers
and may demand 'two!' or 'more!' when you hand them one sweet or one brick.
As
their memories improve, they enjoy listening to the same nursery rhyme
over and over again... and again... and again...
They
may protest if you change a word or try to skip a verse! Although it might
be boring for you, it's an important part of the learning process.
