If, heaven forbid, your child ever gets lost, you’ll have a much quicker reunion if she can tell a helpful adult her phone number. And she’ll have an easier time remembering that long sequence of numbers if you set it to a simple tune and practice it together. Try singing your digits to a toddler-friendly song, like “Mary Had a Little Lamb”: “355-8461, 8461, 8461, 355-8461, that is my phone num-ber.” Write it down as well so she can see what it looks like. This number activity will help your little one associate the sounds of the numbers with their appearance — and that could help her out of a scary situation.
