Counting Stars

For parents and teachers

Counting Stars is a simple counting activity designed for children ages 3-6. Stars appear on a night sky, and your child taps each one to count it. When they reach the target number, they get a little celebration.

What it practices

• One-to-one correspondence — each tap counts exactly one star
• Number recognition — the target number is displayed prominently
• Counting sequence — reinforces the order of numbers 1-10

Tips for use

• Let your child tap at their own pace
• Say the numbers out loud together as they tap
• Celebrate when they get it right — the game does this automatically with a little animation
• The target number changes each round, keeping it fresh

Age range

Best for preschool (ages 3-5) and early kindergarten. Older kids may find it too simple, which means it's working — they've mastered counting!
