The Bracelet Bar
Ten beads, a few empty spaces and your child's choice of colours. Count the beads that still need colour, choose the matching number and finish each bracelet on the page. Try the worked example together first. No real beads needed.

For the grown-up
Offer crayons if you’re using a printed copy. No real beads are needed. Start with the example: 7 filled beads and 3 empty beads make 10. The circled 3 tells us how many still need colour.
Count the empty beads on each new bracelet, choose the matching number and colour them however your child likes. Touch each empty bead while counting, rather than counting the answer circles underneath. Pointing is enough; colouring is optional.
Answers: left bracelet—4; right bracelet—2.
A grown-up reads along. Try one activity at a time, and stop whenever your child needs a break. These are invitations to practise together, not tests.
