I also had Arin make handprints which we turned into a "counting by fives" sequence game. Surprisingly, she liked this more than I thought she would. Once, she had all the numbers in order (with a little assistance), I had her practice saying the numbers as she was looking at them. She can count to 100, but she does not recognize all of the numbers, so when she got stuck, she was able to count the fingers and know the next number (for instance, if she got stuck on 25, she could count the fingers on the next hand and know the next number was 30). We only sequenced up to 60, because we will soon be working more in depth with telling time.
And if you get tired of using your hands to play this game, you can go the less tradional route and use your feet!

What a "handful" of great ideas! {sorry I couldn't resist}. I love the idea of counting by fives with handprints ~ wonderful! I love all the other activities to go a long with them too ~ what fun! and a great keepsake too. *Ü*
