Here is a handy poem that will help your child remember the numbers and their shapes one is a line, all alone, like a ladder 1 two is the long curvy neck of a swan 2 three is a rabbit with long ears. He's sleeping. 3 four is a cat with a tail very long 4 five is a diving board over a swimming pool 5 six is a ringlet, a very round curl 6 7 is a jet zooming back for a landing 7 eight is balloons tied together to twirl 8 nine is a flower. See how tall it can grow 9 ten is so many it starts a new row 10
